Rory McIlroy is teeing it up this week in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship on the European Tour.
The tournament is played over three incredible Scottish links courses -- the Old Course at St. Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns. In Thursday's first round, McIlroy played at St. Andrews.
While the round was otherwise unforgettable -- he shot a 1-over 73 and was tied for 93rd at the time of this post -- McIlroy did provide a special moment on the famous final hole.

TPC Kuala Lumpur (West), 7,005 yards, par 72. Located just five miles from the city’s heart, the facility spent its first 25 years as Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club before joining the TPC Network two summers ago. No stranger to high-level events, the West layout has served as host on both the PGA TOUR and European Tour schedules, holding the Malaysian Open site for seven years. The LPGA also makes the club's East course an annual stop, with Shanshan Feng set to defend her title at the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia at the end of the month. The club’s original 1991 Nelson & Haworth layout was given a thorough redesign in 2008 by Ted and Geoff Parslow.

MARICOPA, Ariz. – September 13, 2017 – Playing in his first Southwest PGA Championship, Jesse Mueller made his debut one to remember. The co-leader in each of the first two rounds carded a 6-under-par 66 in the final round and captured the 60th PING Southwest PGA Championship by two strokes at Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club.
“I rate this as a 10 out of 10,” said Mueller. “My first Section Championship and I get a win, which you don’t get to win that often in golf. It’s something I don’t take for granted, especially since I don’t play that much anymore. I’ll cherish this forever because you don’t know when you’re going to get a chance to win a big tournament like this. It was an awesome experience all the way around.”
At the start of the final round, Mueller, 34, PGA Director of Golf at Grand Canyon University G.C., was tied with Craig Hocknull for the lead and paired together in the final grouping of the day.
