LOS ANGELES – Much like the 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass is always on players’ minds no matter where they are on the golf course, Riviera’s par-4 10th hole holds a similar distinction.
Rory McIlroy, who is playing the Northern Trust Open for the first time, took a few moments after putting out on No. 10 on Saturday to examine the Sunday hole location (back right) for the final round.
“The 10th hole, both [caddie J.P. Fitzgerald] and I were sort of looking at a couple of different ways to play it,” said McIlroy, who is 1 under for the week on the drivable par-4.
