The Northern Irish, four-time major champion said he wanted to take the chance to make a better start to the year, beginning in Hawaii. “I wanted to get off to a good start, an early start,” McIlroy told a news conference on Wednesday. “I feel like every time I show up to the start of the year on the PGA Tour other guys have played nearly 10 events and I’m sort of playing my first or my second one....

The finish line, in the shape of the 18th green at Le Golf National, was just up ahead, so close he could see its fluttering flag and the thousands of expectant spectators surrounding it, waiting, praying for the four-time major winner to do something special to edge Europe closer to winning the Ryder Cup.
