Absolutely,” McIlroy said. “But every time I tee it up, or most times I tee it up, I’m right there. I can’t sit here and be too frustrated. You think about my performances in the majors between like 2016 and 2019, it’s a lot better than that.”McIlroy finished in a tie for sixth at Royal Liverpool after a final-round 3-under 68.
