It was never in doubt. Rory McIlroy led wire to wire at the Open Championship this weekend, at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club, winning by two shots over Sergio Garcia and Ricky Fowler, by shooting 66-66-68-71 to finish at 17-under par. The win gives McIlroy his third career major championship (after the 2011 US Open and 2012 PGA Championship) and puts him one Masters victory away from the career Grand Slam at 25 years old.
"It feels incredible," McIlroy said before heading out to collect the oldest trophy in golf. "Today wasn't easy. A few guys were making runs at me. I just needed to stay focused and stay in the present and really concentrate on what I was doing out there."
