PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Rory McIlroy made two late birdies amid the wild theatrics of Sunday at The Players Championship and closed with a 2-under 70 to win the next best thing to a major. Most important, he found dry land on the par-3 17th, the island green that never looks smaller than on Sunday at The Players. He was solid to the end on a chilly, cloudy day and finished at 16-under 272 to win The Players on his 10th try. McIlroy emerged as the winner, his 15th on the PGA Tour and 23rd in his career worldwide. It was Dagar’s first Ladies European Tour victory in just her fourth professional start.
