In an interview with the media, the experienced golfer shared his opinion about McIlroy, saying that Rory is a cool person.

J.J. Spaun still couldn't believe the 17th-hole splash at The Players Championship, the shot that denied him in Monday's playoff vs. Rory McIlroy.

There are few things that Spaun would take back from what has to be considered a career-best performance, even if he has a single tour win in the Valero Texas Open. Maybe his putt on the 72nd hole on Sunday evening, when his ball came up about two rolls short of victory on a birdie try.
