Rory McIlory Tournament History
2009 World Golf Championship - CA Championship |
12-15 March 2009 - Doral Golf and Spa Resort - Phil Mickelson won his first World Golf Championships title on Sunday at the CA Championship, where he held off Nick Watney to take the title by one stroke and his 36th career victory. However this was perhaps not the most news worthy story of the week. During his opening round, Henrik Stenson thought it a good idea to play from out of the water! After stripping down to his boxer shorts the Swede preceded to do just this. And it was down to PGA Tour photographer Kyle Auclair to capture this magical moment. With the world’s best golf photographers trailing Tiger Woods, Kyle decided he was going to follow other players instead. Little did he know this particular sequence of images would be plastered on newspapers, websites and television shows all over the country the next day. |
In Rory McIlory's bag...It was only rounds of 72 and 73 over the weekend that stopped Rory from challenging for a yet another title in 2009. After opening round of 68 followed by a stunning 66 on the Friday Rory was in a great position going in to the closing rounds. However he could not carry his for though to the weekend and fell away toward the close of play - eventually finishing up in a tie for 20th place. We’ve got the complete set of images of Rory this week. From the bag shot we can see Rory is a Titleist man through and through. I few look at the shot of him with his driver we can identify it as a Titleist 909 D2. Going back to the image of the bag we can see a Titleist 909 F2 to accompany the driver. From the shot of him with his iron we can see that his is using the Titleist Z Muscle Forged model. He is also using a Titleist Vokey Spin Milled Wedge as well as a Vokey prototype. His putter is a Scotty Cameron prototype.
