Quick hits from Sunday's Travelers Championship
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.
| Stat | Round 4 |
|---|---|
| Fairways hit | 12/14 |
| Greens hit | 17/18 |
| Putts per GIR | 1.647 |
Shot of the day - Jordan Spieth in playoff
Spieth did this on the first extra hole for the win.
Biggest disappointment - Boo Weekley
Weekley entered Sunday with an opportunity to end a four-year drought on the PGA Tour with a win, but stumbled to a final-round 72, and finished in a tie for fifth.
Stat - Just two on the list
