Rory McIlroy is just missing the Masters to complete the Grand Slam but it's a tournament he's struggled to get a grip on and this year has been no different for him
Rory McIlroy has explained his emergency trip the range on Friday evening was to ensure he got some rhythm back into his swing.
The weather caused havoc on Friday, slowing golf down to the point McIlroy's group took six hours to complete their round. It's because of this, McIlroy sought out the range on Friday evening in a bid to get some consistency back into his game. He wasn't the only one either as Scottie Scheffler also put in the hard yards after his round.
"I just needed to get some rhythm. It was so start/stop yesterday, and I didn't have any fluid in my golf swing because of that," he said. "I just wanted to go and try and find some rhythm last night. His iron weakness was something former Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley had picked up on. Assessing his round on Friday, he said: “His iron play was poor. That is what he has really struggled with this year. He improved last week after going to see Butch Harmon in Las Vegas and finished third at the Valero Texas Open.
