Five things we learned at Kiawah Island
After some major mis-steps in the middle of this season, some disappointing performances at the majors in 2012 and even some questioning of his commitment, Glory’s Last Shot has revealed a new, improved and more mature McIlroy.
There was no need to shoot the lights out here, and more importantly neither was there the inclination. Nor did the wind and the rain knock the previously susceptible McIlroy out of his stride as he conquered the worst of the weather. The talent never went away but this week marked a returning to the imperious form in which conquered Congressional to win his first major at the 2010 US Open, the Holywood star kept his body language positive, putted superbly and stayed cool and calm under pressure as others floundered to progress through 72 holes in a serene manner.
