Rory McIlroy was quiet about his divorce plans but confident in his golf game Wednesday at the PGA Championship, where he seeks his first major triumph in a decade.
World number two McIlroy’s shock break-up brought into question his status among the favourites at Valhalla, the course where the 35-year-old from Northern Ireland won his most recent of his four major titles 10 years ago.“Today was the first time I was on the golf course since 10 years ago, so it was good to refamiliarize myself with the place,” McIlroy said.
McIlroy tees off Thursday morning hoping to maintain the momentum off a victory on Sunday at the Wells Fargo Championship, his fourth career triumph at Quail Hollow, and a PGA Tour pairs victory last month in New Orleans alongside Irish pal Shane Lowry.“Just trying to keep the momentum going,” McIlroy said. “I think it’s all about confidence and momentum and I have a lot of confidence and quite a bit of momentum coming into this week.
In the following three months, McIlroy went on to win the 2014 British Open, the WGC Bridgestone Championship at Firestone and the PGA Championship at Valhalla.“Some of the shots that I hit last week, some of the three-quarter shots, some of the wedge shots, some of the iron shots, combined with how good I feel with the driver at the minute, and those wedge shots going and starting on the right line, that gives me a lot of confidence,” he said.
