Rory beat Louis by a shot, Tiger by 2 as he moves into 1st place in the Fed Ex Cup with 2 events to play.
pgatour.com On a leaderboard packed with some of the biggest names in golf -- McIlroy, Oosthuizen, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson -- the 23-year-old from Northern Ireland took a giant leap toward establishing himself as the best in the game.
With four birdies in six holes at the start, and limiting the damage from his mistakes at the end, McIlroy closed with a 4-under 67 for a one-shot victory over Oosthuizen, joining Woods as the only three-time winners this year on the PGA TOUR
McIlroy goes to No. 1 in the FedEx Cup. And with one of his wins being the PGA Championship, that might be enough for his peers to vote him PGA TOUR Player of the Year. He also has a comfortable gap in the Official World Gold Ranking, and could be tough to catch the rest of the year unless Woods were to win the next two FedExCup events..
Phil Mickelson also had a 66 and tied for fourth, along with Dustin Johnson, who had a 70 and likely played his way onto the Ryder Cup team. Brandt Snedeker made a strong case for a captain's pick with a 65-67 weekend to finish sixth. Davis Love III will announce his four picks Tuesday morning in New York
Both David Hearn 75 -5 total T26, 58th place and Graham DeLaet MC but in 60th place move on to round 3 where the top 70 compete at Crooked Stick in Alabama...
Rory is getting in great shape to win the Fed Ex and Race To Dubai not to mention his leading role in the European Team at the Ryder Cup... Tiger of course will continue to get all the headlines, no matter how sensational Rory's year will be.. Sad but true..
