Rory McIlroy hopes putting will prove Trump card

Rory McIlroy bluntly threw a string of US presidential candidates under the bus at Trump National Doral but when it comes to his putting, the world No 3 has decided to get a firm grip on the wheel.

With WGC-Cadillac Championship host Donald Trump still running for the Republican nomination despite a series of controversial remarks about Mexicans and women, McIlroy gleefully remarked he was relieved he didn’t have to vote.

When it comes to the battle of left over right, the four-time major winner announced he is more worried about his putting grip and following last week’s frustrating missed cut in the Honda Classic, he’s decided to change his putting style for the foreseeable future by switching to left hand low.
