No major pressure for relaxed McDowell

Graeme McDowell might have disappointed in the 2013 majors but three wins worldwide is a pretty good return in anyone’s book and if you’re wondering what the future holds, just ask his caddie Ken Comboy.

“It might not come at Augusta next year, or at the US Open at Pinehurst or even at Hoylake,” the Mancunian says of McDowell’s bid for a second major to add to his 2010 US Open victory. “But somewhere down the line he is going to make another run at one and he knows he has the mental make-up to kick it over the line if things go his way.”

Far from getting complacent about his vaunted position in the game, 34-year old McDowell appears to be hungrier than ever despite tournament earnings alone of €23m.
