WATCH: Rory McIlroy’s heartbreaking reaction after Bryson DeChambeau putted to secure 2024 US Open victory 

Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau were neck and neck throughout the final round at the 124th US Open at Pinehurst No.2 in Pinehurst, North Carolina. However, DeChambeau emerged victorious and won his second US Open title on Sunday, June 16. On the other hand, the wait for Mcllroy's first Major win since 2014 continues to extend.

After Bryson DeChambeau putted to secure the US Open 2024, the Northern Irishman's heartbreaking reaction was captured by camera as he saw his hopes of victory slip away. The video of his reaction when Mcllroy dropped his head in profound disappointment can be watched below:

Rory McIlroy finished 1-under 69, two shots better than DeChambeau in the final round but the LIV Golfer's lead of three strokes going into the final day couldn't be attained at Pinehurst on Sunday.

On the front nine, the 35-year-old secured two birdies on the 1st and 9th holes and a bogey on par-5 5th. On the back nine, Mcllroy carded three birdies on 10th, 12th and 13th holes but three bogeys on 15th, 16th and 18th holes.

The major disappointment for the World No.2 was when he missed two putts inside 4 feet in his last three holes. He finished as a runner-up with an aggregate score of 5-under 275 in 72 holes at Pinehurst.

Bryson DeChambeau finished with 6-under 274 to win the tournament after 1-over 71 in the final round of the US Open 2024. The lowest score of 3-under 67 in the final round was scored by Russel Henley and Sam Burns.

This is Rory McIlroy's second consecutive runner-up finish at the US Open. He finished behind Wyndham Clark by one stroke last year as well, when the tournament took place in Los Angeles. Further, this is Mcllroy's sixth consecutive top-10 finish at the US Open.
