Rory McIlroy Expected To Contend At Memorial
4 years agoRory McIlroy has some question marks heading into this week's Memorial. He can drive the ball like almost no one (2nd -- 319 yards). The problem is that 55% accuracy (168th). Strokes gained tee-to-green is where McIlroy excels (13th) but his putting is just 82nd on the tour. It boils down to the putter this week for the golfer. He does tend to improve on the weekend and McIlroy will need that. He put it together to win the Wells Fargo but missed the cut at the Players, then finished 49th at the PGA. Expect McIlroy to contend but it will be a ride.
