The last year or so has been strenuous as a golfer for Rory Mcllroy. He lost his way a bit after the pandemic break, trying to emulate Bryson DeChambeau. But he is slowly getting back in his original form. McIlroy won the CJ Cup last month and a decent outing at Dubai in DP World Tour Championship.
