Despite changing his number and never receiving Tiger Woods' message of support after his painful loss at the U.S. Open, Rory McIlroy is focused on bouncing back. Similar to the struggles faced by Greg Norman throughout his career, McIlroy is hoping to learn and grow from his near-miss at the U.S. Open. As McIlroy heads into The Open Championship at Royal Troon, he aims to overcome his nearly 10-year major championship drought by leveraging past disappointments as valuable lessons. With insights from legends like Michael Jordan and Rafael Nadal, McIlroy remains determined to move past his heartbreaking defeat and refocus on success. Despite criticism from pundits about his caddie's decisions, McIlroy stands by his team and his approach to handling challenges in the quest for golfing greatness.
