Golf Enthusiasts Eagerly Await Rory McIlroy’s Return to Valhalla After Back-to-Back Victories
World No. 2 Rory McIlroy is riding a wave of momentum as he prepares to tee off at the upcoming WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play event at Valhalla Golf Club. The Northern Irishman’s recent victories at the Zurich Classic and the Wells Fargo Championship have reignited belief among golf fans that he can finally end his long drought in major championships.
McIlroy’s choice of “Don’t Stop Believin'” by Journey to celebrate his Zurich Classic triumph last month was a nod to the perseverance required to reclaim golf’s grandest prizes. Despite 20 top-10 finishes since his 2014 Open Championship and PGA Championship double, the same number of missed cuts has hindered his quest to complete the career Grand Slam.
“McIlroy’s newfound zest was on display in his Zurich Classic victory alongside Shane Lowry, as well as his dominant performance at the Wells Fargo Championship two weeks later.”
The stage is now set for his return to Valhalla, the site of his last major triumph nearly a decade ago at the 2014 PGA Championship. Recounting that triumph, McIlroy vividly remembers the pivotal moments that propelled him to victory, including a fortunate break on the 10th hole where his “low, necky cut” shot ran up onto the green and set up an eagle. With renewed confidence and a pair of recent wins, golf enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating whether the 34-year-old can recapture that magic at the upcoming WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play event.
