Brad Faxon backs Rory McIlroy to cure his putting ills

As Rory McIlroy tries to put all pieces of the puzzle together and claim a fifth major title at this week’s US Open, he has received a vote of confidence from his putting mentor.

Brad Faxon, probably the best putter in the world during the 1990s, rates McIlroy as “one of the best players of all time” and believes his next major win is a matter of when, not if.

It is now 13 majors and counting since McIlroy last lifted a trophy at the 2014 PGA Championship at Valhalla, however, and the scorecard does not lie.
