McIlroy hits trouble in Texas

Rory McIlroy’s last-ditch bid to find some form before next week’s US Masters stuttered after a promising start in the Valero Texas Open today.

McIlroy only added the event to his schedule at the 11th hour after struggling to adapt to new equipment and recapture the form which brought him five wins in 2012, including a second major at the US PGA Championship.
