TULSA, Okla. – Rory McIlroy posted his second consecutive top-10 finish at a major Sunday at the PGA Championship, which would be an accomplishment for most players.
But not for McIlroy.
The Northern Irishman declined to speak with the media following a final-round 68 that left him tied for eighth place with the front-runners just making their way onto the back nine. His week at Southern Hills comes on the heels of his runner-up showing at last month’s Masters.
At both events, McIlroy began the final round with no real chance of winning. And, much like he did at Augusta National when he closed with a 64, the finish was something of a backdoor effort.
