For someone who is regularly compared to Tiger Woods, let me make this perfectly clear, Rory McIlroy is no Woods. Sadly though, it is when you get into the short game area that he is frequently bettered by many of the above average players in the world. His problems is that his winning form is totally linked to the most mentally vulnerable part of the game – a strong short game. As we have seen in recent years withJordan Spieth, there is no quicker career buster than a poor short game. They don’t last”, and for all of his talent, Rory is an average pitcher of the ball and a streaky putter, at best.
