Ruthless Rory McIlroy times Players win perfectly

Rory McIlroy was the last man on the range on Saturday night. He said he went there to correct a timing issue.

“Just getting a little quick in the transition,” he explained to Sky Sports before he teed off yesterday. McIlroy hit only four fairways on Saturday, but his timing was perfect in the final round and he was the last man standing at The Players Championship on St Patrick’s Day, no less, ending a 12-month victory drought.
