You haven't seen the last of Rory McIlroy yet. Trouble is. you haven't seen the best of him yet either.
That's the consensus from Irish observers, who are wondering what McIlroy could have done differently - or what he might change going forward - to get back on the winning track.
Irish Golf Desk’s Brian Keogh suggests McIlroy may want to shore up his putting – adding he swings his club the same way he did as an amateur, with new tweaks and refinements from coach Michael Bannon.
McIlroy’s caddie, JP Fitzgerald, is also occasionally mentioned as a factor holding back McIlroy. McIlroy’s agent Chubby Chandler put it like this:
"If you take the bits that JP does very well, it may make up for the fact that he is not the best caddie in the world. But he is certainly one of the better caddies in the world and for Rory he is definitely the best caddie in the world."

I think Rory has a great future. He is a tremendous golfer who should just get better, and he is a class act.

He joins Greg Norman and Barbara Eden.

being irish and english at the same time addles his brain. close but no cigar will be his fate until he realizes who he is.

Rory's meltdown at Augusta is like the meltdown of the Irish banking system and economy. Neither he, nor the Irish are equiped to play with the big boys!
