The first of three playoff events will be staged next week, but McIlroy is sitting it out. Thanks to his strong regular season, he'll still comfortably advance.

Rhodes banked her ball off that of her playing partner Steph Kyriacou, who had dropped her tee shot on the par-3 5th within two inches of the cup. Rhodes would go on to finish T19 after a final round of 74, but she’ll always have that ace to remember.

The FedEx St. Jude Championship will have a very notable absence next week. Rory McIlroy to skip the FedEx Cup event at TPC Southwind.
