Why did McIlroy struggle?
Rory McIlroy's 66th place finish, 25 strokes behind the winner, suggests a significant dip in form. The story notes he hadn't played competitively since July, which could explain a lack of match sharpness. His comment about needing to 'work pretty hard' before the next event indicates he recognises the need to regain his competitive edge quickly.
