Graeme McDowell ready to do hard yards in bid to reach the top

The Ryder Cup star slipped back down the rankings last year after missing 13 cuts and is currently ranked 91st.

Former US Open champion Graeme McDowell concedes he faces a long road back to the top of the game.

McDowell was ranked as high as fourth in the world in 2011 and 53rd shortly after his last tournament victory in the OHL Classic at Mayakoba in November 2015.
