Rory McIlroy claimed his 27th US PGA Tour title with a convincing two-stroke victory at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The four-time major winner showcased his brilliance with a six-under par 66 on Sunday, finishing on 21-under 267. McIlroy's back-nine surge highlighted his exceptional skill and determination, solidifying his place as one of the most dominant golfers on the tour.
Rory McIlroy stormed to a two-stroke victory at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Sunday, securing his 27th career US PGA Tour title with a dominant back-nine performance. The 35-year-old Northern Irishman, a four-time major winner, carded three birdies and an eagle after the turn, firing a six-under par 66 to finish on 21-under 267 at the famed oceanside course.
'Some people would argue that the golf courses I've won on are not up to a Pebble Beach or an Augusta or whatever, but to win at one of the cathedrals of golf is really, really cool,' McIlroy said. 'I knew today was going to be tough. It was going to be exciting. There were so many guys that were around the lead. And I guess with it being Pebble Beach, I had to put that to the back of my mind and just go out there and try to shoot a score, which I was able to.' Ireland's Shane Lowry, the 2019 British Open champion, birdied 18 to shoot 68 and finished second on 269, narrowly missing out on a fourth career PGA title. 'I didn't have my best stuff all day,' Lowry said. 'I just hung in there. I said let's try and make Rory win this, let's not give it to him. When players like Rory McIlroy turn up and have their A-game they're pretty much impossible to beat. It wasn't my day but it has been a good week.' Sharing third were past US Open winners Lucas Glover and England's Justin Rose, who sank a 61-foot eagle putt from off the green at the par-5 18th to shoot 68
