To call it heartbreaking would be an understatement.<\/p>\n<p>After the round ended, McIlroy watched from the clubhouse as eventual champion Bryson DeChambeau clinched the tournament. It was painful to see McIlroy&#8217;s reaction.<\/p>\n<section class=\"consent\"\/>\n<p>He then quickly left the course, ignored the press conference, and made matters worse by not congratulating DeChambeau. He received considerable heat on social media for ignoring his professional &#8220;responsibilities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>advertisement<\/p>\n<p>The next day, he posted on X (formerly Twitter) that Sunday was &#8220;a tough day. Probably the toughest day in my almost 17 years as a professional golfer.&#8221; He went on to congratulate DeChambeau. He said: &#8220;I&#8217;m going to take a few weeks off from the game to process everything and rebuild myself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Maybe the stress of the past week has been too much, or maybe McIlroy enjoys sea life just like everyone else.
