It has been a tough few years for Rory McIlroy in the world of golf.
The Northern Irishman is close to reaching a ten-year anniversary since his last major win, but has the opportunity to end this barren run when in action at the 2023 Open Championship later this month.
Returning to Royal Liverpool Golf Club is likely to bring back good memories for McIlroy, who was victorious when the Open was last staged in Hoylake back in 2014. Holding off fierce competition from Rickie Fowler and Sergio Garcia (-15), the 34-year-old claimed top spot with an impressive score of -17 after four rounds.
