adminLONDON. — Rory McIlroy has warned rival Jordan Spieth that “self-inflicted pressure” will make it difficult for the American to follow up his blockbuster 2015 season with an equally successful 2016 campaign. World number three golfer McIlroy knows how tough it is to maintain peak form for a sustained spell. The Northern Irishman won two majors in 2014 and was considered the man to beat in 2015, only to get derailed by a slowish start to the season at the big tournaments and an ankle injury that kept him out of the British Open in July.
Spieth took over as world number one, producing a magnificent season as he captured the US Masters and US Open titles and came perilously close to winning the British Open and US PGA Championship.
“It will feel completely different for Jordan (in 2016),” McIlroy told the Daily Telegraph. “ — Reuters.
