Rory McIlroy has set his sights on Olympic gold as a means to atone for a decade of hurt in major championships.
McIlroy, who is donning Team Ireland colours at Golf National this week, won the last of his four major championships in 2014. While, like many golfers, McIlroy is clearly unsure about the standing of Olympic medals in this sport he is high on personal motivation. Golf was absent from the Games for 112 years until a return in 2016.
