Rory McIlroy | Every shot from his win at THE CJ CUP | 2022

I just hovered over him a little bit, you could see he was begging for me to go there, he just hovered right over him in the middle of the putting stroke. for a 67 66, best round of the day by a few different players, Steve Sands is pleased to be alongside Trevor Emelman once again, here's Rory, first half, a birdie at two, yes, he's been having a feast with the par five so far this week and there is another. birdie had to lead all for himself and then a great par saved after getting into trouble in three, yeah I drove the ball to the right and we're stuck in Sandy's area, great putt there for him to keep the momentum going after of the birdie in two.

McIlroy had some business to take care of in the fourth with his third

shot

, yes, perfect lie in the Sandy box, great control opens up the base of the club on the backswing. McElroy again at six with his second ball.above his feet he has lowered his grip a little just to account for that 168 yard hole, back to the seventh and Kurt Byron thanks Steve McElroy here for the birdie on the par three John Wood will be with this group today Rory only has seven putts in the first six holes he is three under par with no bogeys no problem there, so McIlroy stays at three under par here on Sunday with those birdies he has been crushing the ball off the tee he's on the right side trying to turn it around a bunt oh my gosh, 186 mph ball speed in the eighth for McElroy.

He just answered your question who is going to be aggressive and when and where he did it. The usual, very high. Actually, it's a right touch of the flag. Fortunately, he falls a little short. so no problem with the drop behind the green, take a look at kitty's armor, hmm, that will make him think about coming back, take some change out of his pocket, this is not a long analysis, but it's in the category branded. this and keeps the momentum going oh, it's par saves, the guys say all the time Trevor, you and all the fellow PGA Tour players, it's their first three putts all week, so the lead is down to one, right over the corner, great tee

shot

, 184 ball speed and 311 carry, you just have it right in the slot with the driver, don't you?

What weapon is it? He is aiming correctly, you can tell by the swing. A fairly aggressive imposing shot that starts right on the hole. He now he has a good shot. Yes, I'm sure he was very well played, well played, too much rest in one of those second places was in Mexico, where he finished second behind John ROM. I wrestled with him on Sunday to see if he gives us enough room to move with that lead. From right to left again, the right side of the green rises a little, but very average for Rory, I would say almost the same spot, we saw John wrong on the 10th and Roy McElroy up the hill moving to his right, moving diagonally . hill right in front of him, which is always hard to read, you have to match the line speed perfectly, just that little bit of run each time, yeah, that's about the same length as the one he missed in eight, okay , well done, well two. part there for McElroy uh oh Quick Way gone, yesterday he hit that shot once, that quick hook twice 16 and 17.

Remember that sounded like good contact headed to the left side of the green, yeah it'll all work out so definitely he got away with it. Bad swing there, yeah, we saw it a couple of times yesterday on the back nine. Great recovery, thanks, the speed was really good. I think he's happy with that, other than he would have liked to see it go in, it's a nice putt, yeah. He's happy to get out of this hole with a four after one of his worst swings of the week, very high, he went to the Sandy area and hopes to get through those trees, he did but he didn't find his way to the fairway, oh.

The boy crossed the space and converted a very attractive shot. He'll need a rebound, but yeah, now he just needs to settle in and see where he ends up in a very similar spot to where he hit him yesterday when he eagled, yeah, oh, he look at that. Like Kitayama, both shots were exquisite, such a great sound. Did you hear the shot, the contact through 54 holes and there he is taking advantage of the birdie today and talking about first place, now it resides in him only as 130? 140 feet in the air with the driver and this one much lower look at that 56. let's see if it falls, clean it up, it's a little hard to tell, I think it's in some trouble there, I don't think it's on the long one the wispy grass that was coming down A little because of the grip he took it up asking it to go, he was very worried that that ball would fall short in the bunker. good putting, yeah, and I mean, some guys are more inclined towards numbers in science and some guys feel more natural as players.

I would put Rory in that category, obviously, much higher, go, go just to the right of the flagpole, ask him to leave, he did and that's lucky too, anything right from this green feeds very far. that right side and leaves a difficult up and down towards the lead at 17 with two birdies in his last three holes boy Mile in the air the edge of that sandy front area that might need to carry he didn't quite make it if that ball is sitting that's not a bad spot though oh yeah, you're going to like it oh yeah, you're going to like it boy, he's got some momentum right now after making that birdie putt on 14. yeah, that's a great two-shot cushion from above down with two three to play excuse me okay come on warriors on the left side I just slid into the longer stuff okay safely on the green yeah overall pretty good I'd say on the 16th McIlroy for birdie trying to control a Stranglehold in this tournament, the first man to get there and we will find that we took an aggressive line, he didn't clear it by a ton, but this is very correct and not solid.

I don't believe at all exactly what Chip did and ran, this is so good and in such good shape, let's take another look at that Sandy area, well a bogey and a small opening, maybe if Kurt Kittyama can make his putt, put this in the fairway here, don't make the mistake you made on 17. High draw, this can miss in the left fairway, no, it gets a good bounce, yes, very good bounce from Rory McIlroy, who is about minutes away, if you drive your business here on the 18th foreign to the center of The Green Mile in the air, it's clear that Sandy. area sitting there oh my gosh, that's very surprising now he's going to put the coin down there, you know, I knew what he was doing the whole time, wasn't that good?

Rory came in as the favorite, he will leave Congaree with the trophy, there is a new one. number one but he's a household name Rory McIlroy is back on top of the golf world after winning the CJ Cup in South Carolina for the second year in a row thanks for watching the PGA Tour on YouTube watch another video right here
