WINNER
HOGGARD: Rory McIlroy. It’s been nearly five years since the Northern Irishman collected a major title, and his history at Pebble Beach, where he’s missed the cut in two starts (2018 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and 2010 U.S. Open), is awful, but his record this year speaks for itself, with two victories and 10 top-10 finishes.
