Rory McIlroy happy where his game is at ahead of Open Championship tilt
McIlroy was looking to become the first player to win the Masters and Scottish Open in the same season but finished two shots behind world number 158 Gotterup at the Renaissance Club, tied with Marco Penge for second place.
The 36-year-old has struggled to find his best form after completing the career grand slam at the Masters in April, and said in June he had not known how hard it would be to stay motivated.
However, after a strong performance in North Berwick, the five-time major champion said he was now ready to fully focus on the final major of the year.
"I'm really happy with where everything is," McIlroy, who won the Open in 2014, told reporters.
"Looking forward to getting to Portrush and getting out onto the golf course and just turning my attention to that.
"I'm really happy with where my game is, the way I played over the weekend, the shots that I hit, how I controlled my ball flight.

Masters win helping Rory McIlroy deal with Open pressure
Rory McIlroy believes that he is far more mentally prepared for the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush than he was for the 2019 running of the event at the same venue. Feeling all the pressure of being the returning local hero six years ago, McIlroy shot an eight-over 79 on the first day so that even a second-round 65 could not prevent him missing the cut by a stroke. However, since then he has completed the fabled career Grand Slam, claiming victory at the Masters in April, and he feels that the gruelling final day at Augusta has given him the tools to deal with he pressure he will face at Portrush. Speaking to RTÉ Sport, he said: " If someone had to told me at the start of this year, you'd be going back to Portrush with your game in good form, with a chance to win the Open, and by the way, you've got a green jacket with you too? Yeah, I would've taken that. "It's amazing to be back. It really doesn't feel like six years ago that we were here. It's amazing that Portrush and Northern Ireland have this opportunity so soon after the last Open here. "Personally, and selfishly for me, I'm happy that it's back so soon because I want to have another crack at it. "I didn't have the week that I wanted back in 2019, but I feel like I'm a way better player and way better equipped to handle everything that this week throws at me, from a golfing perspective and from a mental and emotional perspective as well. "The two places I'd love to win an Open more than anywhere else are here and St Andrews. They're the two venues for me that are probably more important than the rest. "No other round of golf will feel as difficult as the one I felt in that last day at Augusta, so everything should feel a little bit easier than that." "I've come here feeling really good about where my game is at" McIlroy has spoken recently of struggling for motivation after completing the career Grand Slam and his results in the immediate aftermath of the win at Augusta were not what he would have expected. However, he has enjoyed an upturn in form over the last few weeks and is again playing the kind of golf that fans have come to expect from him. "I'm excited and I've found that enthusiasm again," he said. "I don't know if it's the good golf that's making me enthused again, or if my enthusiasm that's making the good golf. It's a little bit of the chicken and the egg. "I had a good week at the Travelers (Championship) finishing sixth, and then I had a good week last week, with a chance to win in Scotland. So I couldn't be coming in here feeling better about my game. "I did all the right things last week. I feel like my game progressed as the rounds went on in Scotland and I've come here feeling really good about where my game is at."

Lowry on McIlroy, McIlroy on Lowry: What they would take from each other
Shane Lowry and Rory McIlroy have revealed the one quality they would like to take from each other. Former Ireland team-mates at amateur level, the pair have become very close in recent years since Lowry joined McIlroy in residing in Florida. They have teamed up twice for Ireland at the Olympics as well as winning the Zurich Classic of New Orleans last year as colleagues. Ahead of The Open in Portrush, Lowry said that the stand-out trait that McIlroy, the newest member of golf's exclusive grand slam club has is his "constant work ethic". And he added: "Yeah, we have become quite close over the last number of years, and I think it's helped both of us. I think I help him but he helps me as well. I think I certainly feel like I've learned a lot from his work ethic and how I apply myself to the game now. "We spend a lot of time together. Where we live in Florida, there's a lot of players that live there, and you go up to the range and there's never a day that goes by where you get there and some of the top players in the world are not there. So you're like, well, if all these guys are here, we need to be doing it as well. "I think my biggest thing for him is, he's done everything there is to do in the game. He finished that in April. And his constant drive to get better every day is admirable." McIlroy, meanwhile, is a huge admirer of the way Lowry is able to balance being one of the world's top golfers with his family life. "We've always been close, but I think we've become very close over the last sort of five or six years," said McIlroy. "Once I had a daughter I saw how Shane is with his daughters - when I say he's like a role model, I just think about how he is off the course, how he is able to separate his family life and his normal life from his golfing life. "Look, I know I'm in a bit of a different position, so it may be a little bit more difficult for me. But it's definitely a place that I strive to be in, to be as comfortable getting away from it as he is in a way and enjoying the fruits of your success and sharing that with your loved ones. "It's more so that. That's one of my New Year's resolutions, was to have more fun. I think Shane is very good at having fun, and I need more of that in my life."

Cork selector on how Pat Ryan approach turned it around after Limerick hammering
Cork selector Brendan Coleman has described the capitulation against Limerick on May 18 as 'an outlier'. However, he said it was a chastening experience from which the group suffered, but credited manager Pat Ryan for framing the approach ahead of a critical do-or-die clash with Waterford seven days later. Another defeat would have knocked Cork out of the Championship but instead they pulled off a six-point win to set up a Munster final rematch with Limerick, a tie they eventually came through after a dramatic penalty shootout. 'It hurt us, really,' said Coleman of that 16-point defeat eight weeks ago. 'It was an outlier, but it still hurt us. 'We had seven days to turn it around, Waterford were coming, and they had nothing to lose. We didn't forensically go through it. That was the great thing about Pat. We left Limerick and Pat knew what we had to do. 'We didn't go wide. We went quite narrow. It was Monday night, the gym session. It wasn't even video. It was just a quick gym session. There was a simple graph put up and it told the story in terms of turnovers.' Several Cork players have spoken warmly about Ryan and the esteem in which he is held in by the group, and Coleman says it's no different among his management team. 'He's just a great people person, first and foremost, and then his knowledge of the game, his acumen for hurling is so vast. It's fantastic and he loves it. 'He can talk about hurling, he can talk American sports, he can talk politics. I suppose he's such a great relationship with the lads and he's so selfless to allow them to grow and develop and he takes great pride in that, which is a lovely trait to have.' The Munster final success rounded off a hectic period of games for Cork and having struggled for consistent performances in the provincial series they made the most of the four-week break ahead of the All-Ireland semi-final against Dublin. They romped to a 20-point win to reach back-to-back finals for the first time since 2006, but Coleman felt that such a display was coming in the build-up. 'We were expecting it. The four weeks was excellent. And again, we referenced the 18th of May and how bad it was. There was learnings in the three-week gap [from the win over Tipperary], in terms of what we do better. So, you know, we had that too as a reference point really. So, we took that on. 'Week one after the Munster final was low key and you could see that there was a significant effect on their energy levels so we kind of came down for a week and the three weeks from there were excellent. 'First week we were back in for a gym session and some guys were released play with the club, if I can remember correctly. 'There were club games that that week so we had reduced numbers and it was very little contact - just the skills work, short and snappy - just with the aim of getting the bodies right for the following week with a full panel, and then we went hammer and tongs for three weeks.'
