During the U.S. Open, analyst Smylie Kaufman believes Rory McIlroy's caddie should have intervened on the 15th hole to help McIlroy take control of the championship. Kaufman suggests that McIlroy used the wrong club, hitting a 7-iron instead of an 8-iron, which resulted in his ball rolling off the green. McIlroy went on to bogey three of his final four holes. However, it is noted that McIlroy typically makes his own decisions on the course, with his caddie rarely stepping in.
