Rory McIlroy produced an amazing empty back to achieve the winning start of his PGA Tour season with an impressive two hits at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-AM.
McIlroy entered the last round of shooting behind the teammate Ryder Cup Sepp Strak and was tied to the lead on the road, only to get a congested water plate with a stunning starting in the last nine.

The winning margin of McIlroy was reduced by the rapid end of Shane Lowry, and five birds in the last eight holes helped him to solo seconds, while Justin Rose raised the hectic plowing finale to a third with Lucas Glover.
Tom Kim – who had part of the lead for a big piece of last day – descended into a tied seventh with Strak, and Scottie Scheffler in the world no. 1 Scottie Scheffler marked a return from an injury looking for a stake in ninth place.
Straka immediately lost the benefits of overnight when he couldn’t get up and go down to save a couple from the sand in the first, and the Austrian fell behind his toy partners when McIlroy and Lowry were Pirdie Par-Petuni.
McIlroy briefly kept solo leadership when Lowry Thoud from long range to third, just that Lowry was answered by a bird, and Rose also picked up a hit in fourth place to make it a three -way midfielder at 16 below.
Three-punt pair from McIlroy in the sixth par-hubly canceled a 12-foot bird on the iconic Par-three next, temporarily returning his advantage in one goal, only to be able to leave the next one and see him come to turn with Lowry And by Strak.
McIlroy returned in advance, turning 18 feet in tenth and responding to the omission of a bird’s chance of a bird at the next walking bird of eight feet in the 12th, doubled his advantage, before he even jumped on the Par-Pet.
He reached Par-Five Green in two and dried up a 25-meter passenger for the eagle, with a bird close range on the par-four, the next extended the lead in four strokes and moved it by recording the Snedecker brandt in 72 holes of the tournament.
Lowry posted three birds in growth of four holes of 11. And made another nine meters in the 16th, only to miss a chance of closer in three 17.
McIlroy chose to set himself up on a pair of last and two 30-foot strokes to confirm the win in the tournament, his first at PGA Tour of the May’s Wells Fargo Championship, while Lowry finished second in the second place in front of Glover.
Glover missed a number of birds on the back of the back nine of his last round 67, and ended up at 18 years with Rose, who mixed four birds and two beetles with an incredible eagle in the finals, while Russell Henley and Cam Davis rounded off from the top – five.
McIlroy’s victory is the first in California from the 2015 WGC game, and the 35-year-old has now had at least one PGA Tour win in each of the last eight seasons.
“Some would claim that golf courses I beat were not on a pebble beach or Augusta, but win one of the Golf Cathedral is really, really cool,” McIlroy told CBS.
“I knew it would be tiring today, it was exciting, there were so many guys around the leadership and I suppose that it was a pebble beach, I had to put it on the back and go out and try to record the results, which I succeeded.
“I told Harry (Diamond, his caddy) that walks last, start while you want to continue. I am equally determined this year in any year where I was here on PGA Tour and arrived this wound victory that means a lot and hopefully it will just keep swinging in Torrey Pines in a few weeks. “
