Exit Question
Brooks looked like he had a brief conversation with you on the 18th green; was he telling you that you have his vote for Player of the Year?
RORY MCILROY: No, I just said to him, he’s had a great season. He’s won another major, he’s won three times. And I know it’s going to sting because he most likely will win the Player of the Year, but he didn’t win the FedExCup.
So I know it’s going to sting him for a bit, but I just wanted to tell him he’s playing so good. He’s the No. 1 player in the world, and he’s had a great season, and he said something similar to me, just happy for me.
But yeah, it was good. Brooks is a great player. He’s turned into a heck of a player over the last couple of years, and I definitely expect more Sundays like that between the both of us in the future.
