Rory McIlroy secures his second major title
The biggest major of the year, the U.S. PGA Championship finally came to an end. The stage for this event was the Kiawah Island Golf Resort, the Ocean Course. The four-day event started on the 9th of August and ended on the 12th of
August.
At this event, the biggest names in the world of golf gathered at this stage to contend for the Championship. In the end, there could only be one champion and in this major, it was the Irish youngster, Rory McIlroy.
The youngster gave an outstanding performance and in the end, easily bagged his career’s second major. McIlroy claimed the title quite easily - none of the players were even close to his score.
The 23-year-old was off to a smooth start, he carded five birdies on the first day. The day included no eagles, bogeys or double bogeys, so his score rose to five-under par on the first day.
The second day was the worst one for McIlroy. He carded two birdies but unfortunately he also scored five bogeys on the day, which made his score two-under par after the second round.
From that point onwards, McIlroy played magnificently. As the third day started, he climbed to the number one spot and then never looked back.
On the third day, McIlroy carded five birdies only on the front nine and just one bogey. On the back nine, he scored two birdies and only one bogey.
The last day was the best one for the Irish professional golfer. He scored six birdies on the day. Out of these six birdies, three came on the back nine and the other three on the front nine.
On the last day, there were no bogeys or double bogeys so these made his score six-under par.
McIlroy’s total score rose to thirteen-under par at the end of the final day of the tournament. The new champion was eight strokes clear of the player who came second, David Lynn.
Lately, there had been tremendous amount of criticism on the youngster. He answered his critics once and for all and now is on the number one spot in the official golf ranking.
