Rekordseger för McIlroy med extra wedge i bagen

Rory McIlroys seger i Canadian Open var imponerande och 59:an var inte långt borta. Med en extra wedge i bagen som förberedelse inför nästa US Open hade McIlroy bättre längdkontroll och massor av limmade inspel i sin avslutande 61-runda.

Tyck till!

När Rory McIlroy krossade fältet med en avslutande 61-runda tog han sig till 22 under par - nytt rekord för Canadian Open - och visade tydligt att han är redo för nästa veckas US Open på fina Pebble Beach.

Som förberedelse inför nästa vecka hade McIlroy lagt en extra wedge i bagen och det gav honom bättre längdkontroll, vilket vi kunde se resultatet av igår. Massor av limmade inspel gav korta birdeputtar och en kort eagleputt.
