OWINGS MILLS, Md. – After wrapping up a disappointing T-43 finish Monday at Liberty National, Rory McIlroy flew home to Jupiter, Florida, for a night in his own bed and some time with his wife, Erica, and daughter, Poppy.
By Tuesday afternoon, McIlroy was grinding on the range at Caves Valley Golf Club in preparation for this week’s second FedExCup playoff event, the BMW Championship. He spent considerable time grooving in a new 3-wood.
So, what happened to the old one?
“I threw my 3-wood onto the New Jersey Turnpike off the ninth hole on Monday, and so I was without a 3-wood coming here,” McIlroy revealed.
