We've all been there as champions. We all lose.'""Unfortunately, it just happened. The raw emotion of it is still there. It's going to be there for, I'm sure, some time. The faster he's able to get back on the horse and get back into contention like he did last week, the better it is for him," Woods added.While Rory McIlroy did have a disappointing end to his US Open campaign, he was not the only one.
