RORY’S 2018 RECORD

After a winless 2017, McIlroy’s start to 2018 has shown promise and frustration in equal measure. ABU DHABI Tied 3rd (-18) In his first event since October, he showed enough to suggest he could find his best form again. DUBAI DESERT CLASSIC 2nd (-22) Despite another encouraging display, McIlroy cut a despondent figure after blowing a two-shot lead with eight holes to play. PEBBLE BEACH PRO-AM Cut (-1) Smooth hitting was offset by a disastrous four-putt from 10 feet.
