Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland plays his second shot on the fourth hole during the final round of The 150th Open on The Old Course at St. Andrews July 17, 2022, in St. Andrews, Scotland.
"Both Camerons, but especially Cam Smith, went on that run on the back nine. I really had to try to dig deep and make some birdies, and I just couldn’t. I got beaten by the better player this week. To go out to shoot 64 to win an Open Championship at St. Andrews is a helluva showing. Hats off to Cam, he’s had an unbelievable week."
McIlroy said he knew he could win the tournament, which would have been his first major title in eight years. He won"I knew that I could do it," he said."I love this golf course. I play well here. The last two Opens I’ve played here I’ve finished third both times. It’s coming. I just think this whole major season — second at Augusta, third here, fifth at the U.S. Open, eighth at the PGA — I’m knocking on the door.
