McIlroy wins first U.S. Tour event

Rory McIlroy fired a spectacular 62 in the final round at Quail Hollow this afternoon to win this week's PGA event going away. McIlroy came on the scene in Europe last year with a couple of wins and then played pretty well here in the U.S. as well. It seemed like he was playing a lot of tournaments and I thought he may be getting burned out as his performance had not been nearly as strong this year. Apparently, a bad back was holding him back, which, at 21 years old, is not a good sign. However, it looks those woes are behind him for now!

McIlroy has a very good swing and hits the ball a long way for his size. I also like how he remains aggressive when he gets into contention. McIlroy is another of those young players that has loads of confidence and plays aggressively, and to win. He, and players like Anthony Kim and Dustin Johnson are the type of players that can start challenging the elite. A bit more experience for all of them, and we'll start to see them challenging for majors.
