Rory McIlroy does not consider himself as 'inevitable' as Scottie Scheffler, yet he captured a fairy-tale play-off victory in the Amgen Irish Open. The win adds another chapter to an exceptional year for McIlroy and increases American concerns ahead of the U.S. Open at Bethpage Black later this month. After starting four strokes behind France's Adrien Saddier overnight, the 36-year-old Masters champion recovered from an opening bogey with three birdies across four holes. He then sank a looping six-foot birdie at the 13th to sustain his title challenge.
