Try as they might, Quail Hollow's 'Rory-proof' efforts still not enough
0:001:31CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Something about Quail Hollow really seems to fit Rory McIlroy's eye.
In 2010, a baby-faced, 20-year-old McIlroy marched into Charlotte and took down the likes of Phil Mickelson–fresh off a win at Augusta National–and Angel Cabrera, the 2008 Masters champion, to claim his first PGA Tour victory.
Five years later, in 2015, McIlroy again stood in the winner's circle at Quail Hollow for his second Wells Fargo Championship victory. This time, coming after the greens were changed from bentgrass to MiniVerde bermudagrass, and the 16th was redesigned.
