22/02/2021 | sport | golf | 421
Rory McIlroy missed the cut last week for the first time in 30 PGA Tour events but while underlying statistics suggest a deterioration in form, here's why the Florida-swing offers cause for optimism.

Its a pity to see how far down the field Rory now is. There seems also to be this trait of only doing well when out of contention. He has been out of things so long now he may never get back.

Going solely by Majors =20th in the history of the game (and still only 31) played by millions worldwide but you think he's only 'ok'.

Golf not your subject really is it.

Where did I say your opinion wasn't? I merely point out that you appear to know little about the history of golf if you think he is merely 'OK' given his record. That has nothing to do with elitism.

Neither is being inconsistent and boring a sign of an 'ok' golfer either. Tiger still loses 7/8 out of 10 tournaments he's ever entered an Faldo wasn't exactly charismatic. Done ok though ??

Doesn't need any more money, just title hunting so I have no idea why he can't just truck up every week relaxed and have a laugh. It's the guys with no money from week to week that have all of the pressure on them

Just because he has money doesn't mean he has no pressure....just different pressure such as the weight of expectation to win again. I'm sure he has his own expectations just like everyone does.

How do you know how much he practices? He could be working hard on his game for all we know.

If you cast your mind back a very long time we got 5 hys' after he was leading on Thursday, but none down the stretch on Sunday.

No wumming from me. That's one of very many true stories I have for my followers on here.

Selective memory is not what I do.

He smashed his car to smithereens in a 45 mph road limit.

We can also be thankful he did not kill anybody else?
