McIlroy captures 20th US PGA title with victory at Vegas eNCA
Disappointed by a poor performance at last month's Ryder Cup and his struggles after trying to match the long-distance driving of Bryson DeChambeau, the 32-year-old from Northern Ireland showed the form that made him a four-time major champion."I realize that being me is enough and that's enough to do things like this."
"It was huge. It really was," McIlroy said."I was disappointed with how I played. I get more emotional thinking about that than about this ." Since World War II, only Vijay Singh and Gary Player have more US PGA victories than McIlroy among players from outside the United States. McIlroy, ranked 14th, won his second title of the year, having snapped an 18-month win drought in May with his third career triumph at Quail Hollow, and first of the 2021-22 season.
"Obviously disappointed," Fowler said."But this is a big step in the right direction from where I've been in the past couple years."Fowler rolled in a 16-foot birdie putt at the par-4 ninth to share the lead at 22-under with McIlroy and Morikawa, but stumbled back with a three-putt bogey at the 10th.
Morikawa sank an eagle putt at the par-5 18th from just inside seven feet to pull within one, but McIlroy closed with four pars to seal the victory.
