If only we could erase Rory McIlroy’s hellish torment on the 18th hole, scrub it from history as if it never happened. At this point, the top match mattered; it was a potential momentum mover, as Thomas and McIlroy sought to land the telling punch. Thomas looked to see if that was it, was it over? Thomas birdied the 10th to get the match back level, only for Thomas to three-putt the 13th to give McIlroy a one-hole advantage again. it’s the culmination of two years of very hard work and I’m delighted for everyone that’s a part of it,” said McIlroy.
