PGA Tour : Players Championship Leaderboard Results
The playoff at the Players Championship has just concluded, but I thought that it concluded when Rory smashed his drive right down the fairway nearly 365 yards on the par 5 16th, leaving him a short iron into the middle of the green with a putt for eagle.
McIlroy won his previous Players title on 17 March - St Patrick's Day
As it happened he made birdie, JJ Spaun par, Rory a shot ahead, and when the journeyman American cleared the 17th with his iron into a stiff wind, after Rory was safely on, they could have awarded the trophy then and there.
Spaun shot par, triple, and I'll give him a double at the 18th, because he never had the chance to miss it. However as we said earlier, this was a no lose for him, he was so poor a Tour player he was about to give the game up last year, but with the love of his family, wife Melody with children Emerson and Violet and a reset of life's priorities he has his 3rd top 10's this year and $2,725,000 to take home.
So Rory who didn't have his A game all week, chipped and putted his way to his 2nd Players on St Patrick's Day, his 28th PGA Tour win, and his second of this year before April after his win at Pebble Beach. Today, not that he ever talks about it, he is $4,500,000 to the good.

Next week its the Valspar at the Innisbrook resort near Tampa, Adam Hadwin Corey Conners and Ben Silverman are in the field.
