Rory chasing the top spot

FORMER world No.1 Rory McIlroy insists he has the desire to regain top billing, saying he is not content with just being in the top four.

McIlroy’s most recent spell as world No.1 started after he followed victory in the 2014 Open with another in the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, but ended a year later after he returned from being sidelined with an ankle injury suffered playing football.

The 28-year-old had slipped to fourth behind Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson and Jason Day.
