Worrying Rory McIlroy link with Phil Mickelson emerges after US Open meltdown
Rory mroy won’t be pleased with his latest comparison a worrying Rory mroy link with golf star Phil Mickelson has emerged following the northern irishman’s US Open collapse 10 years on from his last major win mroy had the US Open title in the palm of his hands last weekend only to fumble and give up first place on the leaderboard to Bryson dambo it proved a heart-wrenching afternoon for mroy who dubbed it the toughest day of his career and later announced he’d be taking a short break from golf alt together but the 35-year-old’s performances have suggested he’s trending in the wrong direction with comparisons drawn up between melroy’s recent form and mikkelson’s early days as a professional before winning his first major in April 2004 mikkelson registered 23 top 25 finishes 17 top 10 seconds nine top fives and three Runner UPS the nearly man in golf for so long mikkelson did go on to lift six Majors but moy’s recent effort suggest he’s taken that mantle off the American since winning his last major in 2014 melroy has 26 top 25 finishes to his name 21 top 10 seconds 11 top fives and three Runner UPS the most recent being last weekend at Pinehurst not that mroy will take well with being compared to mikkelson though given the two have been involved in a long-standing feud focused mainly on the emergence of rival Tour live golf in 2022 the two have been at odds with each other ever since mroy had previously spoken out about the hectic schedules golfers on the PGA tour put through with the four-time major winner hinting an offseason might help ease the pressure not one to stay quiet mikkelson commented on the issue posting on X live would be perfect for him a fairly innocuous suggestion right well mikkelson followed up his original post by saying problem is I don’t think there’s a team that wants him on it because they’d have to deal with all his BS
