Rory McIlroy says he was beaten by wind at Troon as hunt for fifth major goes onPhil Casey, PA Golf CorrespondentRory McIlroy’s bid to win a fifth major title will stretch into another decade after he suffered his second worst performance in the Open Championship. Five weeks after his heartbreaking loss in the US Open, McIlroy added a second round of 75 to his opening 78 at Royal Troon to finish 11 over par, a single shot better than he managed at Muirfield in 2013. Further shots went on the fifth and sixth before conditions eased slightly and McIlroy followed seven straight pars with a birdie on the 14th after holing out from a greenside bunker. “I feel like I say this every Open Championship, but it’s not as if we only play four events a year,” McIlroy added. “We play like 25, so there’s still a few things there’s left to play for.
