Rory McIlroy insists his time for a fifth major isn’t running out
Rory McIlroy insists his time for a fifth major isn’t running out, despite another near miss at The Open. The Northern Irishman finished third at St Andrews, two shots behind winner Cameron Smith. It was McIlroy’s eighth top-10 finish in a major since his last major victory at the 2014 PGA Championship.
“I feel like I’m playing well enough to win,” McIlroy said. “I’m just not quite getting it done. But I feel like if I keep putting myself in position, eventually it’s going to happen.”
McIlroy admitted that he was disappointed not to win at St Andrews, but he said he was encouraged by his performance.
“I felt like I played really well all week,” McIlroy said. “I gave myself a lot of chances. I just didn’t quite make enough putts.”
McIlroy said he is not feeling any pressure to win another major.
“I’m just trying to enjoy the process,” McIlroy said. “I’m trying to play the best golf I can. And if I do that, I believe that the results will come.”
