Rory McIlroy missed the cut at The Open last week after a disappointing performance at Royal Troon
Rory McIlroy's former swing coach Pete Cowen has suggested that the golfer's mental struggles are the main factor holding him back in major tournaments. McIlroy's promising fourth-place finish at the Scottish Open was followed by a dire performance at The Open, with the Holywood golfer missing the cut at Troon.
Despite not having won a major since the 2014 PGA Championship, he has managed to secure 21 top-10 finishes without clinching a win. "He knows exactly what he does. He drops under a bit and starts flipping it a bit and doesn't get under any pressure on it so struggles with the ball flight. But he knows he's had the same problem for a long time. He does address it and sometimes when he's addressed it he plays great and wins.
