McIlroy misses third consecutive cut, things are not looking good for the former World number one!
Rory McIlroy’s career has become a series of unfortunate events as the former World number one misses his third consecutive cut at Muirfield Village.
Many critics speculated his continuity with the poor form as McIlroy has his focus on all the wrong aspects. His girlfriend is a renowned tennis star and resides in Europe which has been a key issue regarding his focus on golf.
World number one, Luke Donald also believed that McIlroy’s lack of focus and bad form is because of the distance between him and his love.
“I remember when I was 23 and had an attractive girlfriend, I would take my eye off the ball sometimes, as well. You can't blame the kid” said Donald concluding McIlroy’s issues.
McIlroy is also working on his swing technique lately, which in his mind, remains the key issue with his play.
His coach is helping him every day to overcome his lack of practice and his faulty swing. The former World number one accepted his lack of practice and has taken his eyes off the ball numerous times in his previous games.
McIlroy has been a little high after he became World number one in the global rankings. His arrogance has been a prime issue that has contradicting his performances. He has been found claiming that he is the best in the world which is a small thing to say
at an early stage of his career.
Now the world witnesses the former number one missing his third cut after claims of being the best. It is indeed very sad to see a star falling apart with his arrogance and lack of focus.
He still claims that he played well although he missed the cut.
“I hit some good shots, it just seems like every time I go out there I make one or two big numbers and that sort of throws me” said a confused McIlroy after missing his third cut.
It is about time that McIlroy realises his position as a golfer. All he needs is practice, focus and a little humility on his part. Otherwise, he may end in a rut sooner than he thinks.
