PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Coming down the stretch at The Players Championship, Rory McIlroy was surrounded by green-clad fans wishing him the “luck of the Irish.”
And while McIlroy hails from Northern Ireland, not Ireland, he still flashed a little bit of green from underneath his pullover as he sat in the media center, with The Players trophy by his side after conquering the Stadium Course.
McIlroy’s one-shot victory over Jim Furyk marked his first win at TPC Sawgrass as well as his first win in almost exactly a year, dating back to the 2018 Arnold Palmer Invitational.
