ʻO ka nīnauele o Rory McIlroy:

ʻO ka lanakila ʻana i ka CJ Cup he ala maikaʻi loa ia e hoʻomaka ai i ke kau.ʻOi loa kēia kaʻu lanakila 20th ma ka PGA Tour, a ʻoi aku ka manaʻo kūikawā.I nā mahina i hala iho nei, manaʻo wau ʻaʻole wau i hana nui a ʻaʻole i hoʻokō i kaʻu makemake.Manaʻo wau pono wau e hoʻomaikaʻi iki i ka ʻike hoʻomaʻamaʻa a me ka manawa hoʻomaʻamaʻa.

I loko o ka pule aʻu i lanakila ai i kēia lanakila, ʻo kaʻu mea i hana ai ma ke kahua hoʻomaʻamaʻa, ʻo ia ka hoʻāʻo ʻana a noʻonoʻo i kēlā me kēia pana aʻu i hana ai, e hoʻāʻo ana e ʻike i ke arc hema, arc ʻākau, nā pōpō kiʻekiʻe a me ka haʻahaʻa, a nānā i kēia..ʻO ka nui o kaʻu hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana, ʻoi aku ka ʻoluʻolu o ka hana ma ke kahua.ʻO ia kaʻu pāʻani kolepa.E pili ana i ka pāpaʻi ʻana, ma ka pōkole, ʻo kēia wale nō kāu e hana ai-kuʻi i ka pōleʻa āu e makemake ai.I kekahi manawa poina iaʻu i kēia no ka ʻimi ʻana i ka hemolele, akā he mea hoʻomanaʻo maikaʻi kēia no ka lilo ʻana i mea kolepa nui, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e hemolele.

Ke neʻe mau nei ka golf i mua, a hiki mau mai kēia pule aʻe, a ke hoʻāʻo mau nei ʻoe e hoʻomaikaʻi.He alanui lōʻihi loa kēia.I koʻu lilo ʻana i mea pāʻani ʻoihana i nā makahiki he nui aku nei, ua ʻike ʻia he 20 lanakila.Inā helu ʻoe i nā lanakila o ka European Tour, manaʻo wau e like paha ia me koʻu lanakila 30th ma ka World Tour, no laila he hana maikaʻi loa ia i kēia manawa.

Ke hoʻomanaʻo nei au i koʻu hoʻololi ʻana i kahi ʻoihana ʻoihana ma 2007, ua komo au i ka Australian Masters ma ka hopena o kēlā makahiki.Ua loaʻa iaʻu kaʻu kāleka European Tour.I nā lā mua ʻelua, aia wau i ka hui like me Aaron Baddeley.Ke hoʻomanaʻo nei au ua pae ʻo ia i ka 18th ma ka honua.Noʻonoʻo wau, "ʻAe, e kuʻu mea aloha, aia kēia kanaka i ka helu 18 o ka honua.Pehea ka maikaʻi?"

Ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka CJ Cup, ua helu wau i ka 14th ma ka honua, a ke noʻonoʻo nei ka poʻe inā e hoʻomaha wau!He pili kēlā.Ua like nō koʻu manaʻo me nā keiki i hoʻomaka.Hoʻomanaʻo wau i nā lā ʻelua a mākou i noho ai me Elon Bedley, ua pāʻani maikaʻi mākou.He makahiki maikaʻi kāna, a i ka piha ʻana o koʻu mau makahiki he 18, mahalo nui wau iā ia a ke manaʻo nei au e like wau me ia i kekahi lā.

He hoʻokō kēia aʻu i makemake ai e hoʻokō i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kaʻu ʻoihana, e lilo i ka 20 kiʻekiʻe ma ka honua.No laila ua ʻoi aku au ma mua o kēia mau mea a pau, akā i kou neʻe ʻana i mua, pono ʻoe e hoʻonohonoho hou i kāu mau pahuhopu a me nā mea āpau, a pono ʻoe e hoʻonohonoho mau.I kaʻu ʻoihana, pono wau e hana i kēia no ka mea pono ʻoe e hoʻomau.ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kū mālie a noho like, pono ʻoe e hoʻoikaika e lilo i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi a hoʻomau i nā mea hou aku.Manaʻo wau ʻo ia nō.

ʻO ka lanakila ma Las Vegas he ala maikaʻi loa ia e hoʻomaka ai i ka makahiki 2021-22 PGA Tour, akā ma ke ʻano o ka lanakila, ʻo kēia kaʻu lanakila lua ma 2021. No laila, ma hope o ka lanakila ʻana i ka Wells Fargo Championship ma Mei, he mea maikaʻi loa ke lanakila i ka lanakila ʻelua i kēia makahiki.He mea maikaʻi ka hiki ke lanakila i ka hapa nui o nā kau o kāu ʻoihana, akā makemake wau e hoʻi i kahi aʻu i lanakila ai ʻekolu, ʻehā a ʻelima paha lanakila i kēlā me kēia makahiki.Ua lohi iki kēia makahiki iaʻu, akā hiki iaʻu ke lanakila i ʻelua mau lanakila, ʻo ia ka maikaʻi.''
