With a few weeks to decompress in Europe, Rory McIlroy is ready to tackle the rest of the golf season, acknowledging again that following his Masters victory in April, he had difficulty recommitting to the game with such a huge goal accomplished.

Playing at this week’s Genesis Scottish Open in advance of next week’s British Open at Royal Portrush, McIlroy said Wednesday that some time to reflect and visit with family and friends has helped.
