NUMBERS game is just not for me - insists McIlroy

Mcllroy’s nerve-shredding victory at Augusta National made him just the sixth male golfer to complete a career grand slam and gave him a fifth major title, one behind Sir Nick Faldo and two adrift of Europe's most prolific major winner, Harry Vardon.

And the world number two has every chance of equalling Faldo’s tally in the 107th US PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, a venue where he won his first PGA Tour title in 2010 and has since claimed three more victories, including last year.

“I have achieved everything that I wanted, I've done everything I've wanted to do in the game,” Mcllroy said before completing his preparations by playing the back nine at a rain-soaked Quail Hollow yesterday.
