He was already being hyped as golf’s next big superstar, and everyone was anticipating him to steamroll the competition just like a 21-year-old Tiger Woods did 14 years earlier. The question was not whether McIlroy would win; it was by how much. Would it be a 12-shot runaway like Tiger in ‘97? But 81 strokes later, McIlroy walked off the green with complete dejection on his face. It was a meltdown of epic proportions that Sunday, with shots sprayed all over the course and short putt after short putt sliding away. At one point on the 13th tee, after his tee ball went into the water and McIlroy realized the cause was lost, his head sank into his arms in despair. The world could feel the pain he was experiencing just by looking at his face. The media wrote McIlroy off, thinking there was no way he could recover from this anytime soon. This would be a hard pill to swallow. But just two months later, McIlroy went to Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, and put on a Tiger Woods-like show, building an eight-shot lead by Saturday afternoon and never letting anybody get closer. He would officially put that Masters debacle behind him as he, at the time, set the all-time U.S. Open scoring record in relation to par at -16. It was pure domination. Did you enjoy this excerpt?
