Rory McIlroy believes he can continue the "theme" of his career and bounce back quickly from his heartbreaking loss in the US Open at Pinehurst.

McIlroy briefly held a two-shot lead with five holes to play but bogeyed three of the last four, missing from two feet and six inches on the 16th and three feet and nine inches on the last to finish a shot behind Bryson DeChambeau.
