Rory McIlroy overpowers Pebble Beach and wins in a runaway
Associated PressPEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Pebble Beach looked as spectacular as ever. “So to be able to get a win on one of those iconic venues is awesome.” On a day when six players had at least a share of the lead, McIlroy took the top spot for good with a 6-iron out of the bunker to 18 feet for birdie on 10th hole into a stiff breeze along the Pacific. “I always say I believe when players like Rory McIlroy turns up and they have their ‘A’ game, they’re pretty impossible to beat,” Lowry said. “It’s a really cool way to start the season,” McIlroy said. But really, McIlroy looked as though he was the player to beat from the second hole, when he hit a tough pitch from 50 yards away over a bunker to a back pin with enough height and spin to set up a 2-foot birdie putt.
