Rory McIlroy has not succeeded in his intention for nine years, And that is to win the Majors again. Every year the same fate. The Northern Irishman tries, does his best, but fails. The main obstacle to this goal seems to be: his head.
Rorry is under enormous pressure, which can sometimes be difficult to deal with. Jack Nicklaus, a man who has given a lot to golf and is an expert on it, commented on the fact that Rory has not won a Major since 2014. “I don't know really know what to make of it.
Because he's very confident. He works very hard at it. He's a good student of the game. He practises a lot."- Jack Nicklaus said, as quoted by golfmonthly.com
Jack Nicklaus gives his explanation
Nicklaus considers 9 years without a Major a big mystery.
Rory is one of the best golfers on the scene, but the more he tries, the more he seems to distance himself from the Majors. “I don't know whether his is a constant lack of being able to keep that concentration for the whole thing or not, because sometimes he is the par, par, par, double, 8.
He does that sometimes. And I said: ‘Why, Rory? Why does that happen?’ And he doesn’t know. Why he hasn't won in nine years? Kind of a mystery to a lot of people because he is so good”. However, Nicklaus is optimistic that Rory will succeed in his intentions in the near future.
He will have to work a lot mentally if he wants to succeed. “He’s going to wake up one morning and say: ‘Hey, I better, you know, get on the stick here and start winning some more Majors,’ because he's certainly going to win some more. I can't believe that he's not”.
