Rory McIlroy Gets 'Golf Lesson' From Tiger Woods's Former Coach Butch Harmon

Rory McIlroy has consulted Tiger Woods바카라� former coach Butch Harmon as he prepares to make his 10th attempt to complete a career grand slam.

McIlroy needs to win the Masters to join Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Woods as the only players to have tasted victory in all four major championships.

The world number two started the year well with victory in the Dubai Desert Classic in January, but his form on the PGA Tour has been underwhelming ahead of this week바카라�s Valero Texas Open.

바카라�I went last week to see Butch Harmon for a golf lesson,바카라� McIlroy told PGA Tour professional Morgan Hoffmann on the 바카라�I Can Fly바카라� podcast.

바카라�I바카라�ve seen him over the years, like once every few years I바카라�ll say, 바카라�Hey, Butch, can I just come see you and you can take a look and see what you think.바카라�바카라�

McIlroy added that as he was leaving for the airport 바카라� Harmon is based in Las Vegas 바카라� his daughter Poppy asked him where he was going.

When he said he was going for a golf lesson, McIlroy said: 바카라�She said, 바카라�Dada, you already know how to play golf.바카라� That바카라�s probably the best piece of advice I바카라�ve gotten in the last three years.바카라�

McIlroy바카라�s long-time coach is fellow Northern Irishman Michael Bannon, although the four-time major winner has also worked with Pete Cowen.

Speaking before the Players Championship last month, where he carded an opening 65 before fading to a tie for 19th, McIlroy revealed the reasons behind his current struggles.

바카라�I have this amazing feeling with my woods at the minute, but when I try to recreate that feeling with the irons, it starts left and goes further left,바카라� McIlroy said.

바카라�I have a swing thought for my woods and I need a different swing thought for my irons and that바카라�s what I바카라�ve been working on over the last couple of days. I feel like every other part of the game is in great shape.바카라�
