Poor finish sours McIlroy's 8-under 64 at Players

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Now that will take the fun out of shooting 64.

Rory McIlroy didn’t look like a guy who just posted his best round ever at The Players Championship as he marched off the course Friday at the TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course. He didn’t look like a guy glowing over his swift climb into weekend contention with a chance to win the PGA Tour’s flagship event for the first time.

McIlroy walked off the last green looking as grim faced as the guys headed to slam their trunks on their way out of town after a missed cut.
