"I was right between two iron and four-iron, as I took my three-iron out [of my bag] at the start of the week! It probably was perfect for a three-iron. "Four-iron was only getting to the front edge [of the green] and two-iron, I had to try cut it and get it up into the wind, a little bit. I just hit this two-iron and it came off absolutely perfectly. It's probably the best shot I hit all year. It was exactly the way I wanted to play it. When you hit a shot like that, I felt I deserved to have that putt drop, to finish it off."On that clinching putt, McIlroy said he let the ball 'do its' thing' and he was delighted it 'hung on and went in'. Ahead of the tournament, he told the media it was high time - after 18 years competing in Scotland - to win an event in the country. Up next, for him and the other top golfers, is The Open at Hoylake, where he won his last major, in 2014. Related links:
