DUBLIN, Ohio – After an admittedly slow start since the PGA Tour resumed its schedule last month, Rory McIlroy needed a tune-up and that meant some one-on-one time with swing coach Michael Bannon.
“It was the first time I'd seen him since the start of February, so it was nice to spend some time with him and get some good work done and feel a bit better about my game and my swing going into this week,” MclIroy said Wednesday at the Memorial.
Like many players and caddies who had to return from Europe or elsewhere in the world for the Tour’s restart, Bannon was able to travel to the United States on a waiver and he stayed at McIlroy’s house while he was in south Florida.
