Top quote - Rory McIlroy

“If I can strike the ball like this and putt average, this is sort of what I can do," McIlroy told Rex Hoggard of the Golf Channel after firing a final-round 64.

Best round - McIlroy

The Northern Irishman had another putter in the bag Sunday, and it seemed to help him, as he posted a 6-under-par 64 in the final round. McIlroy made just one mistake on the day, missing both the fairway and green at the 18th en route to his only bogey of the round.
