Northern Ireland’s world number three Rory McIlroy says he discovered a renewed focus on adding to his four majors during the coronavirus lockdown.
While the Open Championship was cancelled because of the pandemic, the US PGA Championship begins on Thursday at Harding Park with the US Open and the Masters to follow in the autumn.
“Those were the three, even in quarantine, I was looking towards. Once the schedule was set, it was those three events I was trying to get ready for,” McIlroy, 31
“Everything was normal then we had this massive gap where I had time to think: ‘OK, what are you looking forward to after this break?’
“It’s a funny year… but I’ve three opportunities from now until November to add to my major tally.”
