Cool McDowell feels it’s time to deliver

Having disappointed in recent tournaments in Europe, the 25-year-old Portrush man took himself off to his new home in Florida to prepare and believes that strategy will pay a rich dividend.

“I’m enjoying the golf course; I came up here last Thursday and Friday from Orlando and played 36 holes,” he said. “There’s nothing too overbearing or scary about this course. You’ve just got to place the ball on the correct side of the greens. It should be a pretty easy two putt after that. But put it in the wrong places and you’re going to struggle. I’m pretty comfortable with set-up and the lay-out here.
