The 2012 season was truly a remarkable one for the Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy. McIlroy’s victory at the Deutsche Bank Championship marked his third win of the season and his fifth PGA TOUR victory. He became the youngest player to reach $10 million in career earnings on the PGA TOUR.
McIlroy’s come-from-behind victory at the DBC was extraordinary. Entering the final round of play Monday, he was three strokes behind Louis Oosthuizen. McIlroy discussed his strategy for Monday’s round: “Yeah, today was great, going out with a three-shot deficit. I just wanted to get off to a good solid start and maybe put Louis under a little bit of pressure. I was able to do that.”
McIlroy managed to take the lead on the 18th hole and defeat Oosthuizen by a stroke. McIlroy finished the round with a final score of 67. He commented on his victory: “As I said, delighted to get this win, delighted to go to No.1 in the FedEx Cup, sets me up for a great next couple weeks. So, overall, just very pleased.”
