On Sunday, Rory McIlroy dramatically won his third FedEx Cup, coming from behind to catch the world’s No. 1 player, Scottie Scheffler, at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.
Throughout the week at East Lake, McIlroy used his driver to set up short irons and wedges into greens that produced plentiful scoring chances. For the week he ranked No. 1 in driving distance (334 yards), and in the critical fourth round he hit 11 of 14 fairways. For the season McIlroy finished second on the PGA Tour in driving distance (321.3 yards), No. 1 in scoring average (68.67) and No. 1 in strokes gained total (2.115).
