Rory McIlroy was the last player to win on the PGA Tour and win a major the following week, way back in 2014. On Sunday, he set himself up to repeat that feat by winning the RBC Canadian Open.
So how does a 21-time Tour winner spend the hours after a triumph, specifically the Sunday before the U.S. Open?
Traveling, that’s how.
“I’ll go straight to the locker room, get all my stuff packed up, if it isn't already. Give the locker room staff a nice, generous tip for all their help this week. And then get going to the airport,” McIlroy said in his post-win press conference.
