Paige Spiranac shared her thoughts on Rory McIlroy’s exit from Pinehurst after letting the US Open title slip from his grasp in the closing moments.
After collapsing in the final holes and losing to Bryson DeChambeau, the Northern Irishman quickly vacated the premises, refusing any interviews and media interactions.
Reposting a video of McIlroy’s vehicle driving away from the course, the golf influencer sided with the PGA Tour star as fans reacted to his response to the loss.
‘Hot take but I don’t care when athletes do this,’ Spiranac wrote. ‘He gave us everything he had on the course and gave us such an entertaining day.
‘I feel for Rory right now and can’t even imagine how he’s feeling,’ she continued. ‘Cut him a break.’
