PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) -- Rory McIlroy has a love-hate relationship with the Honda Classic, and lately it's been the latter.
McIlroy won in 2012 by holding off a late charge from Tiger Woods, and the victory propelled McIlroy to No. 1 in the world. A year later, he already was 7-over par through eight holes of the second round when he walked to the parking lot, later saying his wisdom tooth was bothering him.
The next year? He looked like a sure winner with a two-shot lead going into the final round until he stumbled badly on the back nine, only to recover with a brilliant 5-wood to 12 feet for an eagle putt to win.
