Rory McIlroy has found his clutch gene again, and just in the nick of time.
After four bogies on his outward nine in the final round of the Genesis Scottish Open, McIlroy came home with a clean backside and four birdies, including the final two holes for a 68 to clip Robert MacIntyre by one for the win.
McIlroy’s win is the 24th of his PGA Tour career and also counts as the 16th in his DP World Tour career at the co-sanctioned event.
It’s also the first win of 2023 for McIlroy who struggled at times in the spring, including a missed cut at the Masters, before heating up and finishing in the top 10 in his last six starts since the PGA Championship. He now passes Jon Rahm to become the No. 2 player in the world.
“It’s been a sort of long six months I feel since I won in Dubai,” McIlroy said as he heads to the Open Championship next week as the clear favorite. “I’ve given myself tons of chances, and hopefully this win sort of breaks the seal for me, especially going into next week as well.”
The last time the Open was at Royal Liverpool, McIlroy won his only Open title in 2014.
With the win, McIlroy takes home $1.575 million from the $9 million purse.
