# Golf: Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy cruised to a St. Patrick’s Day victory at the Players Championship yesterday, defeating J.J. Spaun in a playoff at TPC Sawgrass in Florida. The four-time major champion completed the three-hole shoot-out in one over par, while Spaun’s challenge wilted after a disastrous triple-bogey on the second playoff hole. McIlroy says this is the third time he’s won on St. Patrick’s Day. This is his second Players Championship win of his career and 28th PGA Tour title.
