McIlroy looking forward to ditching the golf clubs for a few days

Rory McIlroy admitted he was looking forward to seeing the back of his golf clubs for a few days after failing to land the jackpot in Atlanta.

Victory in the Tour Championship would have seen McIlroy also win the overall FedEx Cup title and enjoy an amazing payday, but the world number one struggled to a closing 71 as playing partner Billy Horschel won both prizes instead.
