Rory: ‘Close as I’ve ever been’ to 5th major win
Rory McIlroy believes he is closer than ever to winning his fifth major championship. The Northern Irishman has not won a major since the 2014 PGA Championship but has come close on several occasions, most recently finishing second at the Masters and fifth at the US Open this year.
McIlroy admits that he had a dodgy season but he is eager to put that behind him and is aiming for great things in the remaining events of the year. He is especially excited for the RBC Canadian Open, which he has never won before but which comes at a perfect time in his preparations for the Open Championship at Royal Portrush next month.
