PGA Tour winner: Rory McIlroy is a "Greek god" but time is no longer on his side
Rory McIlroy's major drought will enter a 10th year after a tie for sixth at The Open.
Rory McIlroy is running out of time if he wants to add to his haul of four major championships, according to Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee.
McIlroy chalked off his third consecutive top-10 in a major with a T6 at The Open on Sunday at Royal Liverpool, but it now marks a ninth straight year for the Northern Irishman without a major championship win.
He finished the week with a 68 but it left him on 6-under par and seven strokes behind winner Brian Harman.
Will Rory McIlroy win a major in 2024?

Despite McIlroy still leading the PGA Tour's driving distance charts this season, Chamblee, a one-time PGA Tour winner, believes the four-time major champion no longer has time on his side now at the age of 34.
Chamblee said on Golf Channel:
Is the man himself worried?
Hardly...
"I don't think that way [negatively]," said McIlroy following his T6 at The Open.
"I think about trying to go and win a fourth FedEx Cup, a fifth Race to Dubai and win a fifth Ryder Cup.
"I just keep looking forward."
What do you make of Chamblee's comments about McIlroy? Will Rory win another major in 2024? Will he ever win another major for that matter? Share your thoughts and comments over on the GolfMagic social media channels.
