Rory McIlroy happy with Fedex Cup position

Rory McIlroy hints that he would prioritise winning the Fedex Cup over winning the Tour Championship.

Rory McIlroy has insisted that he is happy with his seventh-place position at the halfway stage of the Tour Championship.

The 23-year-old is currently four shots behind tournament leader Jim Furyk, but as it stands, McIlroy would win the Fedex Cup, and he has hinted that he would prioritise winning the £6m prize money on offer over winning the Tour Championships.

McIlroy told Sky Sports News: "I'm happy with the position I'm in. First and foremost I just have to try to think of my standing in this golf tournament, not really about anything else.

"If it comes down to it where I need to really know what I have to do for the last few holes, if I have a decision to make between protecting my lead in the FedEx Cup or trying to win the tournament, I think I know what I'm going to choose."

Furyk is currently second in the Fedex Cup standings with Tiger Woods in third.
