It was a frustrating end to the day for Rory McIlroy at U.S. Open on Sunday as he finished just shy of a win behind Bryson DeChambeau.
After carding a one-under-par on Sunday, McIlroy finished the weekend at five-under-par, a stroke behind DeChambeau.
The most frustrating moment of the day came at the 17th hole when McIlroy was tied with DeChambeau. McIlroy had a seemingly easy putt ahead of him but missed just wide to fall behind DeChambeau, ultimately costing him a chance at the win.

After McIlroy came up short, fans trolled the veteran golfer for recording a bogey on three of the final four holes.

Rory McIlroy Tracker @RMTrackerIt somehow happens in more heartbreaking ways every time. I don't even know how to describe this feeling.
Eoin Sheahan @EoinSheahanThe only thing that seemed certain was that Rory McIlroy had surely already experienced the worst possible way to lose a golf tournament. And then today happened.
Steve Politi @StevePolitiIt is my right, as a father, to spend this entire day watching Rory McIlroy shoot whatever score is required to finish two shots behind the U.S. Open winner.

Mike Beauvais @MikeBeauvaisWhen you realize Rory McIlroy is a Manchester United fan, not winning a major in 10 years makes a lot more sense. <a href="">

PGA TOUR Communications @PGATOURCommsRory McIlroy's missed par putt from 2'6" on the par-4 16th hole was his first miss from inside three feet this season (had made the previous 496).

After failing to win on Sunday, McIlroy has now had six consecutive top-10 finishes without a win at the U.S. Open, just one away from tying the record for the most consecutive top-10 finishes without a win.
It has also been 10 years since his last win at a major—his last two wins coming in 2014 at the PGA Championship and the Open Championship. He will have one more chance to win a major this year as he participates in the Open in July, and he'll be hoping to have better luck then.
