Rory McIlroy's Quest for Major Glory: Swing Overhaul and Unyielding Determination
Originally Published 1 year ago — by ESPN
Rory McIlroy is aiming to finish the season as the European Tour's top player for the sixth time by winning the Abu Dhabi Championship, utilizing a newly modified swing. After a series of missed opportunities, including at the U.S. Open, McIlroy spent three weeks in isolation refining his swing to make it more robust under pressure. With two wins and four second-place finishes this year, McIlroy leads the Race to Dubai rankings and hopes to match Seve Ballesteros with a sixth title, furthering his goal of becoming the most successful European golfer.
