Overall it was a fairly embarrassing display for McIlroy and the numbers backed that up. Statistically, it was the second worst week of his career in driving - normally his greatest strength.
Four-time major winner Rory McIlroy carded two successive rounds of 74 to finish nine over par for the FedEx St Jude Championship at the weekend, second last overall of those who made the cut for the weekend
Eventual winner Hideki Matsuyama won his first FedEx Cup playoff event, earning $3.6 million from the overall $20 million purse. Joint runners-up Xaner Shauffele and Victor Hovland claimed $1.76 million each. Add to that, it was the 21st worst week of his career in approach stats and that all adds up to one desperately poor performance for the world No.2.
