Rory McIlroy Looking for Better Performance at Muirfield Village
According to Jack Nicklaus' playful comments when asked about Rory McIlroy at the beginning of the week, he said the last thing the Northern Irishman needs to accomplish is winning the Memorial Tournament. He's been close a few times over his 13 career starts, but has never finished better than fourth. Whether it's the struggle of playing too much from the rough or his struggle to avoid bogeys, getting to the finish line has been tough. Most notably, he went into the final round in 2023 with a share of the lead before shooting 75 and falling outside of the top five. Regardless, the reigning Masters champion will always garner DFS attention, and rightfully so. The usual ball-striking prowess and now unencumbered mindset are a great recipe for success. If he can consistently find fairways this week, there's no reason to think he couldn't give himself an opportunity.
