Rory McIlroy insists his game is 'heading in the right direction' ahead of his latest Grand Slam bid at The Masters, despite another frustrating week at The Players. McIlroy was unable to build on his fast start to the tournament, where he held a share of the lead after an opening-round 65 before slipping seven strokes off the halfway pace with a one-over 73.
McIlroy found trees off the tee on his way to a bogey at the ninth, seeing him turn in 37, although holed from 20 feet at the 10th and got up and down from the sand at the next to register back-to-back birdies. A bogey at the 12th was undone by a 10-foot birdie at the 14th, while a disappointing week was summed up when he missed from six feet for birdie at the 16th and then found water off the final tee on his way to a closing dropped shot.
