Rory McIlroy didn’t win Sunday in Maryland, but he had no complaints. He's PGA ready.
McIlroy carded his second straight 2-under 68 Sunday at TPC Potomac to finish solo fifth in his title defense at the Wells Fargo Championship.
“I'm playing good, playing really good,” said McIlroy, who notched top-5s in consecutive starts (he was runner-up at last month’s Masters) for the first time since he followed a T-5 at the 2020 Masters with a third-place showing in Abu Dhabi two months later.
McIlroy gave away a couple of shots in Sunday’s final round. He three-putted from 55 feet at the par-4 11th hole, leaving his first roll 12 feet shorts, and then missed an 8-footer for par at the par-4 finishing hole to finish four shots behind winner Max Homa, who joined McIlroy as the only other multiple winner of this event (McIlroy has won three Wells Fargo titles).
