After starting the tournament slowly and sitting well off the pace early, McIlroy surged back into contention with strong weekend play, ultimately closing with a final-round 68 to finish at 10-under par.

His swing is not solid, a lot of hands and arms movement. I give him credit for playing well but wonder how far he can go.
