2014 WGC Bridgestone Invitational Picks - Results

The final round of the 2014 WGC Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club has concluded and the winner this year is none other than the Northern Irish star Rory Mcilroy, who rallied against Sergio Garcia to win the tournament by two shots. Rory finished the tournament at 15-under and took advantage of a faltering Garcia; the two were paired together in the final round.

This is his second win in just two weeks, his last of course being the Open Championship, as well as his first WGC win. With this win, he regains his spot as No. 1 in the World Golf Rankings, overtaking Australian Adam Scott.

Garcia struggled today slightly and shot a 1-over 71 during his final round, along with his 61 Earlier this week. To be fair, no one wants to be chased by McIlroy in a tounament

Tiger Woods also withdrew from his final round today due to back pains. He hit an awkward shot out of the bunker on the second hole and shortly after on the ninth hole withdrew.

As for our picks, here is how they finished their rounds:

1) Graeme McDowell: T8 at 7-under (-7)
2) Miguel Angel Jimenez: T45 at 3-over (+3)
3) Adam Scott: T8 at 7-under (-7)

McDowell records another great finish and Scott needed to finish just a few spots higher to hold onto his No. 1 spot.

Stay tuned  next week for our coverage of the year's final major, the PGA Championship,
