Spotlight on: Rory McIlroy in THE CJ CUP @ SUMMIT
Rory McIlroy is in Las Vegas this week looking for just his second victory of 2021.
Rory McIlroy is unlikely to be fazed by the knowledge that The Summit Club, host of this week's CJ CUP, is a Tom Fazio design.
He added that the local knowledge of club member Collin Morikawa may not prove crucial: "Maybe of the course was playing differently, but it's very soft at the minute so the ball's sitting and staying where it lands. There's not too many nuances around here where course experience is going to be that valuable."

"I said, 'Oh, are you going to start in Maui like you usually do?' He said, 'I'm not in.' I was like, 'Oh, sorry.'
"DJ's the 2nd ranked player in the world and he didn't win on Tour last year. It just shows you how tough it is."
