Rory McIlroy on recent struggles: I’m not that far away. The four-time major winner has missed two of his last three cuts.
In a sense, it’s unfair to claim 2017 as a “lost season” for Rory McIlroy. Two majors remain, as do the FedEx Cup (where the 28-year-old is the defending champion) and European Tour’s Race to Dubai culmination. Conversely, due to various injuries and ailments, McIlroy’s played just nine times in 2017, and has looked particularly rusty in his last four events.

Though it’s unfair to validate assertions that his recent wedding or equipment switch are related to this play, there’s no doubting McIlroy’s putting is a concern. At the Travelers Championship, the Northern Irishman tried out multiple flatsticks throughout the week, and seemed content to use the final club selected at TPC River Highlands at last week’s Irish Open. Alas, the dance floors continued to present issue, as he missed the cut at Portstewart Golf Club.
