Rory Mcilroy’s week in Canada ended earlier than expected in the RBC Canadian Open 2025 as the Masters Reigning Champion Went 71-78 to lose cut from a mile At TPC Toronto in the Osprey Valley.
The big champion five times fought strongly abroad this week in Canada. Subsequently Playing with a spare driver In the PGA 2025 championship after his gamer failed in the CT test, Mcilroy appeared in Toronto with a Driver Taylormade Qi35 with a shorter construction.
The combination did not work as Mcilroy struck only 42 percent of its roads in two rounds and lost 2,187 strokes. With the US Open in Oakmont leaving, Mcilroy must return to the lab to find a driver that allows his superpower to shine as it happens normally.
“So I went back to a 44 -inch driver this week to try to get something that was a little more in control and I could try to get something a little more in the game,” Mcilroy said after losing cutting in Canada. “But if I miss the fairways, I would better have the speed of the ball and lose the highway than not.
Rory Mcilroy driver, media comments offer windows in his mind
Back to March, Mcilroy played the first three rounds of Arnold Palmer Invitational with the latest driver of Taylormade and Woods before paying $ 995 for a uber to bring his old players in Orlando for the last round.
After his second test with Taylormade’s newest driver, Mcilroy will spend a small part of the days trying to find the right weapon from Tee heading to Oakmont. While he has that driver in his hand, the 36-year-old Northern Irish player will be a big question mark on the brutal examination known as US Open.
“Of course it bothers me,” Mcilroy said. “You don’t want to shoot high results like what I did today. Still, I felt like I came here definitely with a new driver thinking that kind would be good and solve some of the problems outside, but it didn’t happen. Of course going to Oakmont for me.
Mcilroy also admitted earlier during the week that he was dealing with a career Grand Slam Hangover after his historic victory in Augusta National in April. The newcomer Masters Masters Champion has now gone T12-T7-47-MC in its four beginnings since winning masters, with T12 coming to Zurich Classic of New Orleans, a team event.
After going down to a fiery start that included victory in Pebble Beach, players and masters, Mcilroy left a disappointing weeks in the PGA championship that need to reassess after you have achieved an eternal dream.
“I don’t know if you’re following anything,” Mcilroy said Wednesday. “I would probably say that in recent weeks I have had a few weeks rest, and go and grind in the range for three or four hours every day is probably a little tougher than you used to.
Mcilroy took two weeks of rest between PGA Championship and RBC Canadian Open. He said he used the time to “restore” his goals for the season and determine where he is “in his head” and as hIt wants to attack the rest of the season.
Hope was that four days in Canada would light it towards a strong conclusion in the 2025 season.
On the contrary, the driver’s problems broke his tour early, and now he will go into what he promises to be a brutal challenge in Oakmont by facing two questions: Can Rory Mcilroy find the right driver and fix his driving problems within a few days? And what do we have to expect from him during the back half of a season This is forever located in golf history?
How to answer them – or if he does – will determine if this year has any more magic in the store for mcilroy.
