Rory McIlroy has admitted he feels he lives 'two different lives' after failing to win the US Open on Sunday. The 36-year-old shot a brilliant 67 in the final round but it wasn't enough to challenge JJ Spaun, who proceeded to claim the first major of his career. When McIlroy won the Masters at Augusta back in April, wife Erica Stoll - and the couple's four-year-old daughter Poppy - cheered him on from the sidelines.

Rory McIlroy concluded a difficult US Open campaign at Oakmont Country Club with a respectable final-round 67, his lowest score of the tournament. The Northern Irishman struggled throughout the week and finished tied for 19th place on seven over par. His improved Sunday performance, which included hitting 11 of 14 fairways, came too late to mount a serious challenge for the title. The 36-year-old's efforts earned him $267,054 (£196,000) from the tournament's $21.5million (£16m) prize fund.

His premature exit from Racing comes after a challenging campaign in France. The former England captain struggled to make an impact at his new club, with injuries and poor form hampering his debut season in the Top 14.

Erica Stoll was absent from the US Open over the weekend as Rory McIlroy's stuttering form continued at Oakmont Country Club. McIlroy was on top of the world back in April when he won the Masters, a feat that saw him become the first European golfer in history to complete the career Grand Slam. Ever since, however, the 36-year-old has struggled for consistency. That was the story once again on Sunday, with McIlroy struggling at the US Open as JJ Spaun secured the first major of his career.
