McIlroy seeks major win ‘within 10 years’

RORY MCILROY is embarking on his first full season on the European Tour but insists he will be in contention to win a major championship within 10 years.

The 18-year-old from Northern Ireland is on the verge of breaking into the world’s top 200 following his joint 11th at last week’s Abu Dhabi Golf Championship.

The former European amateur champion’s impressive start to his career has even seen his name mentioned as an outside candidate for a Ryder Cup berth later this year at Valhalla.
