Johhny Miller says bulked-up Rory McIlroy 'overdid' it in weight room

The muscular but often-injured Tiger Woods of 2016 is a much different physical specimen than the skinny, flexible 20-something who used to dominate the field.

Rory McIlroy is making the same mistake as Woods, focusing too much on weight training, said lead analyst Johnny Miller, during NBC Sports' coverage of the final round of The British Open on Sunday.

Miller hinted there may be a touch of vanity in McIlroy and Woods (both Nike endorsers) strutting around the fairways in their tight-fitting muscle shirts. Via The Big Lead :
