It was a bad week in Memphis for Rory McIlroy.
McIlroy struggled his way through TPC Southwind and ended up finishing alone in 66th at 8-over for the week at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. While he is safely into the BMW Championship next week — McIlroy entered the tournament at No. 12 in the FedExCup standings — it was McIlroy's worst finish of the season by far.
"Obviously [I] didn't come in here with a ton of reps," McIlroy said on Sunday. "Almost felt like the more the week went on, the more I felt lost with my golf swing a little bit."
McIlroy entered the PGA Tour's postseason after a long break. He hadn't competed since his T40 finish at the British Open in mid-July. And that showed.
McIlroy opened the tournament with a 4-over 74, and failed to break par in all four rounds. While he was already well out of contention at this point, McIlroy just looked out of it to start play on Sunday. He opened the final round with a double bogey on the first, and then went 5-over through the first six holes.
