Struggling with his game TODAY at +4 for the round. Seems off today especially on the greens as that putt on the 7th showed. I accept it's not one of his favourites but his opening two rounds were steady if not spectacular

Look at all his times playing this event, all along a similar vein he either misses the cut or has a very average finishing spot. He's openly said in the past its an event he'd love to win as he likes the course but always struggled to do well at.

He has admitted to putting poorly & not having time to work on his game as he’d like (due to being host).

He was level after 2 rounds, including a +2 round - hardly steady for one of the game’s best players

He’s never done particularly well there...struggles with the greens

I'd heard this and I find it odd..
How many times does he have to play them to "work them out".?
He's had some top 10s there so it's not like he cant score..
I just find it strange that the best player of his generation and arguably ever struggles on greens when everyone else seems to knock them in without too much bother.
Bizarre

Possibly some answers there, key one him saying he thinks everything breaks towards the 6th but still has figured out how or why.

Perhaps it simply one of those things that he just struggled to read the greens. Somewhat of an anomaly considering he's always been uo there as a phenomenal putter and scrambler. But maybe Riviera really is just one he can't quite fathom.

I agree to some extent, but the other players can hardly be described as knocking them in without too much bother!

Granted..poor choice of words but you get my drift.
He's played 10 pro events there, must have played countless rounds down the years...
I'm just surprised he hasn't sussed them.

You know someone else who couldn’t win there...Jack Nicklaus...so the best 2 players ever couldn’t win around Riviera.

Tiger even had 11 years without playing there!

Didn't know that....
Strange game this isn't it....

Yep - he hasn’t ever really done well at the course , just looks a little rusty early season.

He should stick the driver in the boot of the car and leave it there. That big dog ain't working for him this week!.

Great to see Adam Scott playing well again. Big underachiever in my eyes for his talent.

Rory looks steady.

could be a cracking final evening at Riviera, course looks to have firmed up nicely!

DJ nearly holed his approach at the first, then almost double hit his chip like I would and walked off with a par 5!

The commentary I'm listening to keeps talking about the wind picking up (flags limp), and it being cool (t-shirts & shorts on show). Guess it is all relative! ???

yeah I chuckled when I heard that whilst I hear the wind continue to howl outside!

 

[fundy]

was looking like it could be turning into a match, a hole later were 5 way tied at the top!

make that a 3way tie as Rory makes triple and Scott makes double

Sack the cameraman/producer-
Apparently co-leader Varner topped a 3 wood off the tee!
We need to see this.

hit it 123 yards on all accounts, sky called it a lay up lol

all course designers should be made to study the 10th at Riviera!

 

[fundy]

4 hrs for 14 holes and Scottys had enough and rips one through the group in front off the tee!!!

sorry guys, didnt know i could hit it that far

 

[HomerJSimpson]

That triple a real show stopper for McIlroy and it's been a bit ragged all day although that was a superb up and down but that aside what a great course and fantastic to see that -10 or -11 will win and it doesn't have to be a birdie fest to be a great event. Riviera arguably the best venue outside the majors, certainly one of them

 

[Jacko_G]

Delighted to see Adam Scott back in the winners circle.

????????

 

[HankMarvin]

Great win for Adam Scott.

What happened to Rory did he choke ?

Looks like he was the only guy out of everyone in front of him to shoot over par.
