Rory McIlroy hoping to avoid first season without a win since 2008 this week

Rory McIlroy is looking to avoid a first season without a win since 2008 when he tees it up at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship this week.

The Northern Irishman claimed his first professional victory at the Dubai Desert Classic in 2009 and since then has won every season on either the European, PGA, PGA of Australasia or Asian Tour, including claiming four majors.
