Playing Style

Rory has struggled off the tee this year and has a very solid game with no real weakness's. His performances on all types of course's bears this out. He hits the ball long and usually accurately. He is one of the best iron players on tour and an excellent putter. If he could improve anywhere it would be his short game, where some have said that he lacks creativity..
