MIAMI: Rory McIlroy celebrated Saint Patrick's Day with a one-shot victory at The Players Championship on Sunday , firing a two-under-par final round 70 to claim his first title of 2019.
It was another battling performance by McIlroy, who was able to regain his composure at several key moments on Sunday to stay in the hunt. The win also comes after several near-misses for McIlroy, who has posted top-10 finishes in his five previous starts in 2019."I felt more and more confident each time. I just stayed as patient as I possibly could.
The 48-year-old US Ryder Cup captain produced two birdies in his final three holes to close on 15 under. Pepperell's round included a sensational, curling 50-foot birdie putt on the island green on the 17th which had given him a fleeting share of the lead.
