PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland - Rory McIlroy was clearly moved by the support he received from the gallery at Royal Portrush and was “unbelievably proud” after fighting back to come within a shot of making the halfway cut at the British Open on Friday.
“I’ll probably rue the finish yesterday, dropping five shots on the last three holes, but I felt like I gave a good account of myself today and I can leave here with my head held high. McIlroy arrived at the tournament, which is being held in Northern Ireland for the first time since 1951, seemingly conflicted about how to approach the championship, whether to embrace the occasion or to treat it as just another major.“As much as I came here at the start of the week saying I wanted to do it for me, you know, by the end of the round there today I was doing it just as much for them as I was for me,” he said.
