Rory McIlroy built a three-shot lead during The Players Championship but was matched by J.J. Spaun after a strong finish. A rain delay led to a playoff on Monday, marking the first such playoff in over a decade for the tournament. McIlroy expressed disappointment for missing opportunities to secure the win and emphasized the significance of execution in the upcoming playoff. The article also highlights other competitors like Tom Hoge and Bud Cauley, whose remarkable journey includes overcoming serious injuries.
"I feel like I had a chance to go home with the trophy tonight, but I'll get a good night's sleep and reset and try to win it tomorrow," McIlroy said.
"I'd like to think that I can fall back on my experience and maybe have a little bit more than J.J., but then at the same time, tomorrow is all just about execution," McIlroy noted.
