Early trouble for Rory McIlroy in FedEx Cup bid

Rory McIlroy's chances of securing a payday of 11.5 million US dollars suffered an early double blow in the Tour Championship in Atlanta.

With only the top five at East Lake in full control of their own destiny, sixth-placed McIlroy knew he had to win the final event of the PGA Tour season and see other results go his way to claim the overall FedEx Cup title and USD10million bonus.
