Pebble Beach looked as spectacular as ever. So did Rory McIlroy. The combination of one of golf's biggest stars and America's most scenic coastal golf course was the just the spark the PGA Tour needed,

"I don’t think I’ve ever seen a golfer play as many bogey-free rounds as Scottie," McIlroy said. "He just doesn’t make mistakes."

Among players still actively playing, only Tiger Woods (82) and Phil Mickelson (45) have won more than McIlroy (27).
