Rory McIlroy won the RBC Canadian Open on Sunday, closing with an 8-under 62 to win a wild race to the finish with Justin Thomas and Tony Finau at St.

"I never shot 59 before, so it would have been a lovely footnote on the week." He bogeyed the 16th, hit to 2 feet on 17 for birdie, then went over the green on 18 and missed an 18-foot par putt. "But right now I just want to enjoy this and focus on this." I went out with a lead and had to shoot 8-under par to get the job done. "I feel like it's getting tougher and tougher to win on the PGA Tour," McIlroy said. McIlroy had his first title defense on the PGA Tour, even if he had to wait for it.

Rory McIlroy sneaks in perfectly-timed shot at Greg Norman ... (GolfDigest.com)

McIlroy continues to let it rip when it comes to discussing the Saudi-backed LIV Golf series and the man behind it all.

Making it even sweeter is the fact that McIlroy's 21 victories have come in a shorter timeframe, too, albeit a slightly shorter one. Of much more importance to McIlroy, though, was the fact it put him one win ahead of a certain Australian legend who may or may not be behind the LIV Golf series. If you recall, McIlroy called the series "dead in the water" back in February, which it appeared to be at the time considering Dustin Johnson, among others, had seemingly backed out at the last minute.

'Wow that's cold': Rory McIlroy 'eviscerates' Greg Norman with savage live TV swipe.

Rose launched his round in spectacular style with a hole-out for birdie from the fairway at the first. But Rose was unable to get up and down from a greenside bunker at 16. After a birdie at the second the American birdied six in a row from the sixth through the 11th. McIlroy set an early tone with a 26-foot birdie at the first. His birdie at 14 -- after McIlroy bogeyed 13, saw the Northern Ireland star’s lead cut to one stroke. He added a seven-foot birdie at the second, a two-footer at the fifth and a chip-in at the seventh before a bogey at the ninth, where he was in a fairway bunker.

Rory McIlroy caps off chaotic week with statement win and not-so ... (Australian Golf Digest)

Amid all the chaotic content surrounding the launch of the Saudi-backed LIV Golf series, Rory McIlroy has been adamant that he will remain loyal to the PGA ...

It’s that type of historical accomplishment that would make McIlroy, and golf fans all over the globe, extremely happy. Also giving chase was Justin Rose, who needed a par on the final hole to shoot the 13th sub-60 round in PGA Tour history. “I think after COVID and everything I needed a complete reset,” he said. McIlroy, who now has three wins since the post-COVID restart, seems to be rekindling his pre-COVID form. A pair of late bogeys from Thomas saw him finish four back in solo third, while Finau was able to lock up second all to himself with a late birdie. His title “defence” at St George’s Golf & Country Club this week wasn’t quite as dominant, margin wise, but it was just as scintillating to watch, and it’s now made the Northern Irishman a heroic figure in Canada.

Rory McIlroy repeats as winner of RBC Canadian Open (USA TODAY)

Defending champion Rory McIlroy earns his 21st PGA Tour win with his victory Sunday at RBC Canadian Open, which was held for first time since 2019.

Finau knocked in a 40-footer for birdie on the last to finish at 17 under. Justin Rose made a run at a sub-par 60 round and was actually 11 under through 15 holes and three pars away from a 59. And he shot 29 over the front nine – the first 29 on either the front or back nine in his career. He finished at 15 under. In 2019, McIlroy closed with a 61 to win the Canadian Open by seven shots. It was the first time in 15 attempts that he defended a title.

Rory McIlroy wins Canadian Open as PGA head blasts LIV Golf (Los Angeles Times)

Rory McIlroy closed with an eight-under 62 to win the Canadian Open on a day when PGA Commissioner Jay Monahan criticized the Saudi-funded LIV Golf tour.

The Americans had a 8 1/2-3 1/2 lead going into the eight Sunday singles and needed only two matches to secure the cup. Finau holed a 40-foot birdie putt on the 18th for a 64 to finish second alone. “I just was trying to go low and see what happens,” Henderson said. Thomas pushed him to the end at St. George’s Golf & Country Club, and the tournament effectively ended on the 17th hole. McIlroy had his first title defense on the PGA Tour, even if he had to wait for it. This time she got the job done Sunday after overcoming a four-shot deficit.
