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

"With ambitions of pushing for promotion, this is a fantastic opportunity," Wilson-Brown told the club's website. "I want to get stuck in, contribute to the team, and help drive us forward."

'I'll give everything' - Sunderland complete signing of Diarra

"I'm happy and excited to become a Black Cat and I can't wait to discover the Stadium of Light and its fans," the Senegal international told club media. "Everyone saw last season's success and I guarantee that I'll give everything for this team and fight for these colours in the Premier League. "I'm ready for this challenge and I can't wait to get started." Diarra becomes the club's second signing of the summer as they look to bolster Regis Le Bris' squad ready for their Premier League return. Sunderland sporting director Kristjaan Speakman added: "Habib is an exciting talent, and we are delighted to welcome him to Sunderland AFC. "At 21, he already has more than 100 senior appearances on his resume, and he's been a captain in one of Europe's elite leagues. This underlines his undoubted quality and immense potential, and it reflects our progress and ambition that we have secured a player of his calibre. "Like Sunderland, Habib is ready for the Premier League, and we look forward to taking this exciting step with him." What do you make of the new signing? Is he what Sunderland need?
