Rory McIlroy’s final round at June’s U.S. Open was such a disaster that it resulted in him missing a text message from his hero.
McIlroy added, “If he hadn’t have waited that long, I probably would have got it. But I caught up with him earlier.
It’s always nice when your hero and the guy that you had on your bedroom wall is reaching out and offering words of encouragement.”
“MJ was maybe the first person to text me after I missed the putt on the 18th,
but both of them got in touch very, very quickly,” the golfer noted.
“They just told me to keep going. MJ reminded me of how many game-winning shots he missed. Really nice.”
As for what Woods, 48, said in his unanswered text message to McIlroy, the 15-time major champion provided some insight during his pre-tournament press conference at The Open Championship.
