Rory McIlroy breaks silence after crushing loss at US Open, stepping away from golf to 'process everything'

Rory McIlroy was seen storming out of Pinehurst No. 2 on Sunday night after losing the U.S. Open by one stroke to Bryson DeChambeau, which came after the Irishman bogeyed three of his final four holes to leave the door open for the LIV Golfer. 

But McIlroy broke his silence on Monday night with a post on social media that said he would be taking a short break from golf to regroup before attempting to snap his major tournament drought, which he was so close to doing in North Carolina before his putter betrayed him down the stretch.
