Rory McIlroy getting ‘cute’ turns into disaster at $10 million Tour Championship
📍 How it ended
After an embarrassing mistake that drew criticism for being “too cute” in the $10 million Tour Championship, McIlroy reflected on his three FedExCup titles and shot a 1‑over on the front nine in the second round. Coverage then shifted to expectations of a bounce‑back at East Lake and his aim to finish the season on a high while pursuing a fourth Tour Championship crown, leaving the story without a definitive conclusion.
