Rory McIlroy enters the Irish Open with impressive support from the fans, will he miss another cut?
The Irish Open is about to hit a high note and one golfer considers this tournament as the most important tournament of his entire career.
Rory McIlroy is focused on winning his hometown tournament and hopes to bring the best out of him after a disturbingly long time.
The former world number one has been disappointing this year with his 4 missed cuts. It was this year’s US Open when McIlroy was all set to regain his lost form and defend his US Open throne.
Last year’s US Open victory grasped him the world number one spot. It was a high time in his life and he was headlining every major news report on golf.
This year, McIlroy failed miserably to defend the title and missed his fourth cut. After the US Open misery, the amount of criticism he faced was torturing. He is now being quoted as a ‘struggling golfer’.
The Irish Open has brought a little hope for McIlroy. He has the support of the fans. Moreover, this time, it is his hometown where he is playing and he is looking forward to it.
“The last couple of years, I didn’t really enjoy the tag of home favorite, I just didn’t feel very comfortable with it, this year I really want to embrace that,” said McIlroy.
The 23-year-old precision player is happy to regain his confidence and is eyeing the Irish Open as a comeback tournament.
“I felt like it was starting to come around. In a way it couldn’t be a better time to come back here and play Portrush. It brings back so many good memories, and you can feed off that, and that gives you some confidence,” said the world number 2.
Keegan Bradley will be McIlroy’s biggest threat and his form can take over any other golfer’s dream of shining at the Irish Open.
“Hundreds of people have told me ‘welcome home’, which gives me chills every time they say it,” said Bradley.
It will be a tough ground for McIlroy to prove his presence on. He may require something magical to regain his image as the world’s best golfer.
