McIlroy thinking tactically after Pinehurst visit
Rory McIlroy was pleased with what he saw on his two-day visit to Pinehurst No 2 earlier this week. He's happy the driver will be a key weapon but when it comes to the greens, he's looking at it like a links test — play to the middle and you won't be far away. As for the "upturned saucer" Donald Ross greens, he says he may just pop down to Seminole near his home in Florida to acclimatise for the next week.
