McIlroy crouched down, staring at the ball in disbelief, while Lowry hugged his caddie in the scorer's tent to celebrate a one-shot victory at the BMW PGA Championship on Sunday.

This is his 31st appearance, and any degree of normalcy — for Mickelson and so many other big names in golf — is hard to find. Brooks Koepka had heard enough.
