Rory McIlroy WITB What's In The Bag - The Golf Equipment McIlroy Used to Win the 2019 RBC Canadian Open

So you think Rory McIlroy can't close a tournament?  McIroy didn't just break away from the three-way pack tied for the RBC Canadian Open lead when play began on Sunday.  He sent a message and thrashed the field with a dominating 9-under 61, to finish with a record setting 22-under, 258 in the victory. 

 

The win was Rory's second of the season (to go along with The PLAYERS Championship), and the 16th of his career.  And with the victory, he joined Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino, and Tiger Woods as the only players since 1935 to win the U.S. Open, The Open Championship, and the Canadian Open. 

McIlroy's seven-shot victory put the world on notice.  Rory is ready for Pebble Beach.  McIlroy hasn't won a major championship in five years.  But his overall game hasn't looked sharper.  

 

McIlroy was pummeling drives at Hamilton Golf and Country Club (averaging nearly 330-yards off the tee, while finding almost 78-percent of the fairways).  But Rory was also a master with his wedges and putter, clubs that have been a kind of nemesis for the former World No. 1 early in the season.  Here are the clubs Rory used to pick up his 25th career international victory.
