McIlroy refusing to panic

Rusty Rory McIlroy insists he’s not in panic mode about his new clubs as the clock ticks down to the Masters.

But Pádraig Harrington admits his confidence in his putting has taken a knock with just seven weeks to go before the opening major of the season.

With just three more events to get his game in shape for a tilt at a green jacket in April, McIlroy blamed his timing rather than his clubs for his poor iron play.
