Rory McILroy says he “found a feeling” to us and who is looking forward to the traveler championship, live on Sky Sports | News Golf

Rory McILroy is optimistic about a return to form after having “found a feeling” while finishing in the top 20 of the US Open last week in Oakmont.

McILroy won the big career chelem by winning the Masters in April, but ended with a share of 47th place in the PGA championship in May and refused to speak to the media all along The reports of its driver deemed non -compliant have become public.

World number 2 then missed the Cup at Canada Open the week before the US Open, before fighting hard to reach the weekend on the Pennsylvania tax lesson and to withdraw once again from post-round interviews during the first two days.

McILroy closed the third male major of the year with a 67 under three years old and will now set it up during the last signature event of the PGA Tour season – The TPC traveler championship in River Highlands in Connecticut, live Sky Sports – With confidence.

He said on Wednesday: “I don’t think it’s a blow, it’s the repeatability of the shots. If I can see something or have a feeling that is very reproducible … I think the proof is in the pudding.

“I definitely found a feeling last week, especially out of the tee, which was reproducible. It worked well. I dried that won the TEE last week, which was a great thing for me. I thought I had driven the ball all week last week.

“I think the weeks after the major championships sometimes when you are in the running and you try to win them, it can be very difficult to go play next week.

“After a week as I had done in Oakmont, where you are not entirely in the mix but you might feel that you find something in your game, you are delighted to come back and play.”

McILroy: The players have been implemented recently

Scottie Scheffler, world n ° 1, came out victorious at the Travelers championship in 2024, claiming the 12th of what is now 16 PGA Tour titles in just over three years.

Scheffler beat Tom Kim in a play-off after the two players locked up on 22 under the regulatory game.

McILroy says that he is delighted to return to a place offering many chances of Birdie with players who have been forced to “cring” scores in tournaments in recent weeks.

The Northern Irishman added: “There are a lot of guys on the field this week when it is their fourth consecutive tournament. They were put to the test.

“It is therefore a welcome configuration where they feel like they can relax a little and not have to grind so much for your score.”

Scheffler – Who finished in a part of the seventh place in the US Open, five shots behind the winner JJ SPAUN – added when he was asked if the configuration of the Travelers championship could be too easy: “I think that sometimes, especially these days, people find themselves too taken in the winning score being an appropriate test.

“I think that an appropriate test is good awarded deals and poorly punished shots. It is one of the best golf courses for this. There is an opportunity and also a punishment.

“Overall, the way we are tested in professional golf are very good. We play different types of routes, different types of grass, we different types of winning scores. We see different tests and I think that not one is better than the other.

“The most frustrating thing for me when I play a golf tournament is when you see good shots that are not rewarded and the bad shots are not properly punished. That’s all we are looking for.

“Do we care if 22 under the victories this week? No.”
