Winner's Bag: Rory McIlroy, Genesis Scottish Open


    Written by GolfWRX GolfWRX.comGolfWRX.com

    Rory McIlroy battled the elements and finished with back-to-back birdies to win the Genesis Scottish Open. McIlroy tested out a new, lower-flying driving option this week to keep the ball on target amid blistery windy conditions. The 17-degree 2-iron was built for him previously, and McIlroy brought it out for this week's Genesis Scottish Open and next week's Open Championship at Royal Liverpool.

    The 17-degree 2-iron was on display on the 18th hole in McIlroy's final round Sunday, as he hit it from 205 yards out in the rough to 10 feet, 8 inches for a birdie and the victory.

    "I just hit this 2-iron and it came off perfectly. Probably the best shot I've hit all year. It was exactly the way I wanted to play it. You know, when you hit a shot like that I felt like I deserved to hole that putt to finish it off," McIlroy stated after his round.

    Check out his iron and the other clubs he used to win at The Renaissance Club.
