Rory McIlroy says something Luke Donald will NOT want to hear before Ryder Cup
Rory McIlroy explains his go-to shot is completely different to normal just two weeks before the Ryder Cup.
Rory McIlroy has revealed an unusual thing has happened with his golf swing this week in that his go-to shot has now turned into a fade during the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.
McIlroy two-putted the par-5 18th in the spotlights to card a 71 and narrowly play himself into the weekend on 1-under par.
That leaves the Northern Irishman languishing nine strokes off the pace currently set by his potential European Ryder Cup playing partner Ludvig Aberg and his Swedish compatriot Sebastian Soderberg.
As you can tell by his 36-hole score, McIlroy is nowhere close to his A-game in Virginia Water so far this week.
Much of that has been down to a number of shots ending up left of his target, particularly in the second round.
McIlroy pulled his short approach shot into the water on the par-4 8th, which led to a double-bogey six, and he then drove into the bushes way left down the par-5 12th, which led to a bogey on what is deemed one of the easier holes at Wentworth.
The World No.2 told a pool of reporters after his second round that his go-to shot has now become an unusual one for him this week.
Not something European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald will particularly want to hear about just two weeks away from the biennial contest with the United States in Rome.
McIlroy said:
McIlroy will be heading off to Mykonos for a mate's stag do following the BMW PGA.
Donald responded to that last week.
Groups were taking 5 hours and 30 minutes in the second round of the BMW PGA.
McIlroy told reporters that pace of play was "a complete s*** show".
