to the parkland of
America, Rory McIlroy
is back on top of the
world again.
In his first start since a wireto-wire win at the British
Open, McIlroy wiped out
a three-shot deficit in only
three holes and closed with a
4-under 66 on Sunday to win
the Bridgestone Invitational
and return to No. 1 in the
world.
And just like at Royal
Liverpool two weeks ago, he
made it look easy.
Sergio Garcia had a threeshot lead going into the final
round at Firestone. McIlroy
fired off three straight birdies
and already had the lead
when he stood on the fourth
tee. He took over the lead for
good with an 8-foot birdie
putt on the 11th hole, got

"It's the foundation of my
game when I drive it like
that," McIlroy said. "I have
a pretty good chance to win
most weeks, and I've shown
that the last couple of weeks.
Hopefully, going into Valhalla
in good form and I'll try to
get three in a row."
