Rory McIlroy feels he can go in to next weeks Players Championship with plenty of confidence after a strong end to the week at Quail Hollow. The world No 3 saw his hopes of defending his Wells Fargo Championship title all-but ended with a one-over 73 on Saturday, but saved his best until last with a six-under 66 on Sunday.McIlroy, who also claimed his first PGA Tour victory in the tournament back in 2010, mixed eight birdies with two bogeys during the final round and believes he had the opportunity to get even closer to the top of the leaderboard. McIlroy and Phil Mickelson both posted 66s on Sunday If you take away the two fives at the start and the end, it was a pretty good scorecard, McIlroy told Sky Sports. I drove the ball well, hit a lot of better iron shots and converted a lot of chances.I did a lot of things right. Looking back at the 73s I shot in the first and third round, I probably just left myself a bit much to do going in to today.A 66 is a really good score and Im positive and confident going in to the next couple of weeks. The Players is a place where Ive continued to do a little bit better each and every year, and Im looking forward to next week with my game rounding in to a little bit of form. The world No 3 played alongside Adam Scott during the final round McIlroy made the worst start by failing to get up-and-down at the first, but bounced back by holing a six-footer at the fourth and a two-putt birdie from close-range at the next.Back-to-back gains from the seventh saw the Northern Irishman reach the turn in 33, before he continued his move up the leaderboard by following a birdie-three at the 10th with a 25-footer at the 11th.The two-time Quail Hollow champion left a kick-in gain at 14 and picked up another shot at the 16th to move within two of the lead, only to finish with a bogey after narrowly avoiding the hazard with his approach in to the last. McIlroy misjudged his approach in to the par-four 18th It has been a good day overall and I felt like I had a chance around the middle of the back nine to post a number, but it just wasnt meant to be, McIlroy added. I was trying to post 10-under-par, that was the score in my mind, so I needed to birdie the last couple of holes.If I had two shots to take back, then the drive on 15 and the second shot at the last could have made it a different story. There were two soft bogeys at the first and at the 18th. At 18, it was just a complete wrong shot selection and it just wasnt the right shot to play.Watch Rory McIlroy in action at the Players Championship from May 12-15 live on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf Also See: Rory takes encouragement Wells Fargo leaderboard Wells Fargo: R3 highlights Golf live on Sky Sports 4 Yeezy Australia Store .Shipulin pulled away from Martin Fourcade of France, Simon Eder of Austria and Fredrik Lindstrom of Sweden to finish in 35 minutes 16.8 seconds.

The usually stout defence was riddled for 500 yards in Arizonas 29-18 loss at Atlanta on Sunday, a game that was not nearly as close as the final score indicated.Now the road only gets rougher.Up next are the Kansas City Chiefs, who are 7-5 and in the thick of the fight for at least an AFC wild card berth. At least the game is at home, where the Cardinals are 6-0 this season and 12-2 since coach Bruce Arians took over a year ago.Arians said on Monday that the pratfall in Atlanta, Arizonas second straight loss after a six-game winning streak, was perplexing given the great week of practice the team had put in after losing at Seattle.It was an outstanding week of preparation, he said. But you cant play in the National Football League without passion and energy, and we brought none of the above to that game. Its our first time in a long time. I think that some guys fell into the trap that the Falcons werent any good. Thats a bad trap to fall into.Injuries still are mounting in the desert.Safety Tyrann Mathieu fractured his left thumb in Sundays game and doctors were determining how to treat it, Arians said.Best case scenario is put it in a cast and he can play, Arians said. Worst case is put a pin in it and out for three weeks.Running back Andre Ellington, already bothered by foot and hip injuries, got a hip pointer (on the other hip) Sunday and wont practice on Wednesday, Arians said.Right guard Paul Fanaika and left tackle Jared Veldheer have ankle sprains and their prospects for next Sunday are uncertain.But there is some good news on the injury front. After missing two games with a bruised knee, eight-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald should practice Wednesday, Arians said. The team also gets outside linebacker Matt Shaughnessy back. Shaughnessy had been on the injured but eligible to return list for the last eight games.Arians said he wouldnt yell at the players in their Monday meeting.Im just honest, he said. When you stinkk, you stink.dddddddddddd You point out how you stunk and get it corrected.Besides, he said, the tape is so bad it speaks for itself.Drew Stanton dropped to 3-3 as a starter, 1-2 since Carson Palmer went down with a season-ending knee injury. The offence went more than 11 quarters, 28 consecutive possessions, without scoring a touchdown before it finally got one late against the Falcons.Cornerback Patrick Peterson acknowledged that the defence has to step up with Palmer out, something that certainly didnt happen in Atlanta.We still have all the confidence in the world in Drew but were still playing with a backup quarterback, Peterson said. That changes the dynamics of everything.Tight end John Carlson defended his quarterback.Its certainly not Drews fault, Carlson said. Every individual on the offensive side of the ball needs to play better, needs to execute better.Arians said Stanton was really, really hot and cold against the Falcons, when he threw two interceptions.Threw the ball extremely well outside and down the field, and then overthrew Jaron (Brown) six inches too high on the interception, Arians said. The other (interception) he went through his progressions and then just dumped one over Michaels (Floyd) head. Those are critical errors, and he has not made those earlier in the season, something thats easily corrected.Kansas City is coming off a one-sided home loss to Denver and is fighting for its playoff life.The Chiefs, Arians said, will not be an easy foe for an Arizona team that has to stop its slide or see a remarkably successful season slip away.Peterson, who talked last week about how he wanted to go against Julio Jones, was torched by the Atlanta receiver, who caught 10 passes for a career-high 189 yards. He said he always talks that way about an opponents best receiver and any talk about him calling out Jones is baloney.The Cardinals arent in the position to call out anybody.Weve got to get back to what got us here, Peterson said.NOTES: The Cardinals released linebacker Desmond Bishop and elevated guard-centre Anthony Steen from the practice squad.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
