McIlroy best placed to end Europe’s Grand Slam hoodoo

In that period, he has played five tournaments, missing the cut in three, the Irish Open, the US PGA Championship and the Dunhill Masters as well as finishing 35th in the European Masters and 68th in the WGC Bridgestone Invitational, an event that doesn’t have a cut.
