- Rory McIlroy became the first player from Northern Ireland to win the Players Championship when he emerged as the last man standing to beat veteran American Jim Furyk by one stroke in Ponte Vedra, Florida on Sunday.
On a day when 15 players at one stage were within two shots of the lead, McIlroy overcame an early double-bogey and fought back to prevail with a two-under-par 70 in a fluctuating breeze at TPC Sawgrass. He will head to the Masters next month brimming with confidence. McIlroy needs a victory at Augusta National to complete the grand slam of all four modern majors.
“If anything they were good for me. All those experiences this year led me to this point and ultimately they were good for me because they got me over the line today.”Furyk shot 67 for second place on 15-under, with Englishman Eddie Pepperell and Venezuelan Jhonattan Vegas another stroke back in a tie for third.
