Rory McIlroy knew he had his work cut out in the Tour Championship after picking up a lower-back injury on the eve of the tournament.
But despite the early setback, the 34-year-old battled his way to a fourth-place finish, after a closing 65 saw him finish fourth on 14 under.McIlroy finished behind behind Wyndham Clark, Xander Schauffele, and Viktor Hovland, who won The FedExCup title along with an $18m bonus.'I hung in there the first couple days when I wasn't feeling great,' the former champion told reporters.'Then I was able to tee the driver up and hit a couple of tee shots in the air.
'I really enjoyed my day with him on Sunday last week when he shot the lights out. So, the other 11 guys on the European team, I don't think, would have an issue if they went out with Viktor.' McIlroy was just as open about his feelings towards Hovland, particularly why he was so impressed with the Norwegian.'He's a really hard worker. He does it his way. I think he's found a repeatable golf swing. He aims it up the right side, brings it over, and hits that flat cut down.
