Sunday marked the end of a disappointing season for Rory McIlroy, who couldn’t even qualify for the Tour Championship.

It’s so hard not to root for Rickie Fowler. The guy plays with a certain swagger, and he harnesses a kind of aggression on the golf course that makes him a joy to behold. Case and point: On Sunday, coming into the 585 yard par-5 18th hole at this week’s BMW Championship with an outside chance of catching eventual winner, Marc Leishman, who sat four shots ahead, Fowler did the unthinkable. Rather than hit a safe shot and settling for a tidy paycheck, he pulled a driver off the deck and took dead aim at the pin from 279 yards. It almost worked, too.

McIlroy has signed up for next week’s British Masters on the European Tour, an event hosted by one of his longtime friends, Lee Westwood. Battling a rib injury for all of 2017, McIlroy said at the PGA Championship that he was considering shutting it down for the rest of the year. Instead, because of “outside expectations,” he played the first three playoff events, and now will tee it up at the British Masters and the Dunhill Links (with his father, Gerry) in consecutive weeks. After that, he won’t pick up a club for six weeks to allow his injured rib to heal, then turn his attention
