Hearn started Thursday's round on a decent note with a score of even par on the front and 1 over on the back nine to shoot a 71, one over par for the round. His second round was not well played. He started off the front 9 holes with 2 bogeys and one birdie to finish one over and the finished his round 3 over on the back nine, which left him with a score of 73 and 4 over for the tournament and put out of the tournament.
Even though DeLaet score was higher he did play more consistent. He shot a 73 on both of his rounds, Thursday and Friday. However, his frist round on Thursday would have ended even par, with a bogey on the front 9 and a birdie on the back, except for his collapse on the 17th hole par 3 where he scrambled together a triple bogey.
Regardless of their efforts, the Canucks still walked away from the tournament with their heads held high and tweeting positively, as normal. As far as the other results of the Tournament, it was a fantastic tournament to watch and a new World #1 Ranking player was named.
Skipping ahead to the Sunday action, Rory McIlroy was leading the playing field ahead of American Tom Gillis. Sitting 18 spot back was Tiger Woods and he can never be shut out from being a contender in Sundays final round. Well, once again he not let us down. Going into Sunday Tiger's score was 2 under par, 9 shot back of the leader McIlroy. Tiger started off the round with an eagle and 2 birdies on the front 9 holes with a score of 31, the back 9 holes he continued his hot streak with another 2 birdies and to add the cherry on top he eagled the 72nd hole and putting the pressure on the youngster McIlroy to earn that win. Rory started the round at 9 under par and played solid golf throughout the round. He knew he did not need to shoot a great deal sub par to win. While playing his focused round, knowing that if he won, he would secure the World #1 Ranking, he knew that Tiger was catching up. Nevertheless the Northern Ireland youngster did not let the pressure get to him (unlike last years huge collapse in the final round at the Masters). Rory went out and played good golf shooting 1 under on the front 9 holes, and even par on the back nine and ended with a 69 one under to finish the tournament with a score of -12. With this win at the Honda Classic Tournament he is now the World #1 Ranked player.
