Rory McIlroy eyes repeat of 2014 story

Rory McIlroy is nothing if not bold. He’s a Manchester United fan who hopes Liverpool win the Champions League final on Saturday, admits he enjoyed his round of golf with Donald Trump, and he’s back at Wentworth, where he has missed the cut four times in his previous eight outings at the BMW PGA Championship, the European Tour’s flagship event.

Rory McIlroy eyes repeat of 2014 story

It is a tournament that characterises the up and down nature of McIlroy’s career, not just over the past four years, since he won it in 2014, but even in the past few months, which has seen the sorts of highs and lows only McIlroy can produce.

This March brought his first win for over 18 months, when he won the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, and he was in with a great shout for the US Masters only to fade away on the final day at Augusta. He has also managed three other top-five finishes. But he has also had three missed cuts, and is looking for some consistency in his game — and is hoping another win at Wentworth can kickstart his season, as it did four years ago.
