Deebo Samuel Jersey , having shorter clubs in on this golf course definitely helps, Fowler said emphasizing the value of distance off the tee on the wet course. You see with Rory, I feel like the weeks where he is driving it better, I gue s just decent for him, and if he is driving it really well, he's always in contention if not winning.So if he drives the ball well this week, he's going to play well here as he's done multiple times. Jim Furyk seconded Fowler saying the course suits McIlroy and could see him being very comfortable. But he also reminded everyone McIlroy is one of the three best players in the world and hes just good.Before ending his media se sion, McIlroy posed with his birthday cake, but decided not to have a slice
