While many praised Fleetwood's grace in facing the media after such a crushing loss, Rory McIlroy's attempt to show support took an awkward turn.

Rory McIlroy found himself in an embarrassing position after prematurely congratulating Tommy Fleetwood on winning the Travelers Championship, only for the Englishman to collapse on the final hole and hand victory to Keegan Bradley.

McIlroy was three over through seven holes Friday at the Travelers Championship, but flipped the script on his round after the turn and had an unlikely bogey to stay in contention.
