It seems that the PGA Tour pro has prepared himself well for the difficult US Open course and is doing everything in his power to ensure his victory. The golfer’s fan page, Rory McIlroy Tracker, shared the changes he has made to his golf bag and his wedges and clubs to hit better shots. The post was then reshared by Flushing It, another popular golf page on Twitter.
Rory has added an extra wedge to his back this week. He normally has just 3, but has modified it to 46, 50, 54 and 60 for LACC. Imo, this is a really good change. It’s much easier to hit full shots than knock downs and he now has more opportunity to do that with this set up 👌 https://t.co/zK9sOV70KD

It was explained that the golfer usually carries three wedges in his bag, but for the iconic and troubling LACC, he has added more. Doing so will allow the golfer to hit better full shots and increase his chances of setting himself up for a win.
The former world’s number one golfer shared that he thinks playing more golf before the major championship helps to brush up one’s game. If that is the case, then the Irish golfer is all set!
