Rory McIlroy covets a victory handshake from Jack Nicklaus. That's within reach as he shares the third-round lead at the Memorial Tournament.
But the Northern Irishman has one void on his resume he would like to fill.Muirfield Village:
McIlroy, 34, has never finished better than tied for fourth at the Memorial in 11 previous tournaments.“It would mean a ton to me to win this tournament,” he said. “I've played pretty well here over the years without really having a realistic chance to win. So to be able to walk up that hill from 18 and get that handshake from Jack would be pretty nice.
McIlroy is one of the most gifted drivers in the game, but he has fought his swing lately. He has often throttled down this week. “I don't think I hit a green from the eighth hole through the 14th hole, and I played those holes in even par,” McIlroy said.
