McDowell: Rory lacking old belief

Graeme McDowell insisted Rory McIlroy must stop trying to prove his doubters wrong and play for himself.

The Portrush man added a 68 to his opening 67 to trail clubhouse leader Luke Gutherie by just four shots on five under par at the halfway stage of the Honda Classic.

But his post-round chat was dominated by McIlroy’s stunning meltdown and withdrawal after just eight holes of his second round.
