For Rory McIlroy, it's all about location. He won at Pebble Beach and that was important to him. He already was looking ahead to major championship venues like Quail Hollow and Royal Portrush.

McIlroy’s victory marks the third time he has won in his season debut on the PGA Tour. Currently ranked No. 3 in the world, McIlroy said Saturday after his bogey-free round of 65 that he’ll use this week as a jumping-off point for the thick of the season and the four major championships.

Between media obligations and a cross-country flight home, Rory McIlroy had a hectic schedule on Sunday evening after winning the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. That didn't keep him from enjoying a certain Californian delicacy as part of his celebratory meal.
