Monday Morning: England's Matt Fitzpatrick Wins First Major At US Open

Rory McIlroy finished in a tie for 5th

GOLF

Rory McIlroy says his game wasn't quite at the level required on the final day of the US Open at Brookline.

The four-time major champion finished in a tie for fifth on two-under-par after a final round of one-under 69.

England's Matt Fitzpatrick took the title by one shot on six-under to win his first major.

McIlroy concedes he didn't play well enough to get over the line:



Leona Maguire's bid for a second LPGA Tour title fell just short at the Meijer Classic in Michigan last night.

The Cavan native forced her way into a three-way play-off after a final round of 65 helped her finish on 18-under.

But Jennifer Kupcho won the play-off with a birdie on the second extra hole.

Maguire finished in a tie for second alongside Nelly Korda.
