Moreover, Rory even admitted that he was searching for his game when Bannon remained at home in Northern Ireland. He even said he lost his way trying to imitate Bryson DeChambeau and his swing speed last year. Hence, he started working with Cowen, who has coached elite players like Westwood, Koepka, and Stenson.
Even though he managed to win the Wells Fargo Championship earlier this year, his declining consistent ball-striking was evident. Hence, his primary aim in this season is better ball striking, especially with irons, where he has been struggling a lot. And to help him in this, there is no better person than his childhood coach, who has built this incredible swing.

The first is the DP World Championship next week, followed by the Hero World Challenge hosted by Tiger Woods beginning December 2-5 in the Bahamas.
