McDowell: I’m better now than when I won my Major in 2010

The Graeme McDowell of four years ago would dearly love to challenge the Graeme McDowell of 2014 to a round of tournament golf.

This was the scenario McDowell pondered on the eve of the season-ending European Tour DP World Tour Championship that will see the curtain come down on his 13th consecutive season as a pro. McDowell is currently 11th on the Race to Dubai money list and down seven places on his 2013 season finish, whereas he’s nine spots lower than in 2010 when he captured a first Major.

“I’d would love to go back to the 2010 version of me and see what I spoke like and what I chipped it like, what I putted like and how I drove the ball, because I feel I am a better player. It would be interesting to play that guy and see what I thought of him. Play the guy who is a bit younger, and a bit better looking (smiling).”
