CHARLOTTE, N.C. – In the last five weeks, Rory McIlroy is a combined 5 over par, missed the cut at the Masters, posted his worst finish at the Wells Fargo Championship in more than a decade and forfeited $3 million in Player Impact Program cash.
Tough ride, indeed.
McIlroy wrapped up another eventful week with a bogey at Quail Hollow Club’s final hole for a 1-over 72 and was tied for 50th when he left the property. After opening the tournament with an encouraging 68 he settled back into a curious mix of inconsistent driving and sloppy iron play on a course where he’s won three times and holds the 18-hole tournament scoring record.
