Monday Scramble: McIlroy sharp, wildcard faves not

Rory McIlroy reminds everyone that he's still, well, Rory McIlroy, Paul Casey lets a trophy slip away, the U.S. Ryder Cup picks come into focus (or maybe a little more blurry) and more in this week's edition of Monday Scramble:

Hey, I remember that guy.

Coolly bombing his way around a beastly track, rolling in clutch putts with regularity and shaking his competition to the core, one birdie at a time.

We've seen that version of McIlroy in 2012, and certainly in 2014, but he's been scant since the Ulsterman rolled his ankle playing soccer more than a year ago.
