Pádraig Harrington reacts to Rory’s missed putt at the U.S. Open

Rory McIlroy had a heartbreaking putt on Sunday at the U.S. Open.

Padraig has been nothing but class his entire career and I think this take is spot on... just because it is a 4 footer doesn't mean it is an easy putt even for a pro! If Rory missed that long and left it would have rolled off the green and people don't realize that..

Luv him ❤❤ Miss seeing the mid 2000s golf era 😢

I dont care that Rory missed the putt, it was his lack of sportsmanship afterwards.
To not congrarulate Bryson is disgusting, what a sore loser.

No excuse to be a bad sport and a F'n SOOK 🙌🙌🙌

To add to Paddy’s point…. Anyone who does play golf and plays it with integrity a 3 1/2 foot putt for par or better isn’t a “gimme” usually will be the difference in breaking 80-90-100… being a weekend golfer so to speak I usually need a dry towel because I sweat over those types of putts and the stats are that most of us do as well and it’s normal to be nervous when putting them…that said and back to his point, a 4 footer for a Major and it being the US Open and next to the last group and knowing what the score/situation is, made Rory’s putt was tremendously difficult or like Mr. Harrington said “TREACHEROUS”….

Dont think anyone will be giving Rory any putts in the near future

100% agree. I have watched this putt a bunch and it is clear that it was heavily influenced by a foot print. As soon as it got past his shadow (18" out) it makes a hard and i mean hard swing to the right. And he certainly couldnt take a chance and hammer it becuase if it misses on the high side he would have a min 5f-8ft coming back...if it stayed on the green.

16 was just a pull, but 18 was a bit of a bad break.

Very tuff putt and biggest in history of golf.
Rory thought that a two putt would put him in a play off.
Bryson made the putt and World up and down in The history of golf ever.
Padre made a great point.
Rory will bounce back. A lot going on in his life. Get back to golf and golf and family only... Rory will be back!
Let the golf world business up to the older big boys.
Just play golf and make your own brand.
Head lines in future - ' come back kid hits home run for the win!'

Nice one Paddy....you put a perspective on the shite talking trolls that pollute the game who attempt to play but can't...

The putts don’t matter. Every golfer has missed those putts. Him running away . He disrespected the entire US Open and Pinehurst.

Hilarious! I figured those short putts were just awful. TV doesn’t let us know what those incredible guys are really dealing with. My guess us average guys would shoot 140 on Sunday.
