Rory McIlroy Pulls Classy Move After The Open Championship
Home country advantage wasn't enough for Rory McIlroy at this year's Open Championship but the 2025 Masters champion was still able to leave Royal Portrush in decent spirits.
After finishing tied for seventh with a two-under Round 4, the Northern Irish golfer waved to the crowd before heading back to the clubhouse starting preparations for the next tournament.
Fans reacted to the classy move on social media.
"That was special :)" a user smiled.
"Perhaps the most support I've ever seen for a single player," another said.
"Rory McIlroy has more top 10 Major Championship finishes than Arnold Palmer and is two shy of Ben Hogan's tally of 34," a fan pointed out.
"Hell of a week for Rory McIlroy," Jason Sobel commented. "Home crowd cheered their hearts out for him the entire way, he put on a show for 'em. Wasn't good enough to more seriously contend, but he's had more disappointing losses than this one."
"Royal Portrush rises for Rory McIlroy 👏" Sky Sports applauded.
"RORY! RORY! RORY! 🗣️ McIlroy is serenaded by the home fans one last time. 💚" Golf.com shared.
"Huge cheers for Rory McIlroy at the 18th hole."
Scottie Scheffler once again dominated on the way to his first Claret Jug — adding the third leg to his career Grand Slam with a three-under performance to hold onto a four-stroke lead over the field.
We'll see how Rory bounces back at the next stop on the PGA calendar.Rory McIlroy Pulls Classy Move After The Open Championship first appeared on The Spun on Jul 20, 2025
