McIlroy wins PGA
player of the year award...
Rory McIlroy,
of Northern Ireland, hits from the tee on the second
hole during the third round of play in the
Tour
Championship golf tournament Saturday, Sept. 13, 2014,
in Atlanta.
Rory McIlroy is the Vardon Trophy winner
and the PGA of America's player of the
year for the second time.
McIlroy won the points-based player of
the year award on the strength of his
two majors at the British Open and PGA
Championship. Winning two majors comes
with a 50-point bonus. McIlroy also won
the Bridgestone Invitational. McIlroy
had an adjusted scoring average of 68.62
to win the Vardon Trophy over Sergio
Garcia (68.95). The 25-year-old from
Northern Ireland also won the PGA's
player of the year and the Vardon Trophy
in 2012.
The PGA Tour awards a separate award for
player of the year based on a vote of
the players. Voting for that ends Sept.
25.
