Rory McIlroy

Major championship wins don't come along that often.

A little more often for me the last couple of years than the previous decade.

I wanted to enjoy it.

I think...

The further I get on in my career, the more I start to realize how special these moments are.

It was really nice to spend time at home with Erica and Poppy and my parents.

I was able to take advantage of some of the perks that come along with doing something like that.

It's been a really good two and a half weeks of practice, getting back into playing competitively.

Quail Hollow wasn't the week that I wanted, but it was still a useful week.

There was still a lot that I learned about my game and what I needed to do coming into this week.

I didn't give myself a chance to win, unfortunately, but I still feel like it was a good week to see where my game was at and what I need to do to get myself into contention this week.

Yeah.

Look, I wish I was in contention on Sunday.

That's always the ideal scenario because I think that's what...

being in those positions reveals where your game really is.

So that would have been great.

But I think I still, you know, I had a bad day Saturday.

I went to the range Saturday night.

I worked on a few things.

And then I came out and I played much better on Sunday.
