When asked if he still has a ‘North Star’ achievement following his emotional Masters win, McIlroy added: “Not necessarily. I think everyone saw how hard having a North Star is and being able to get over the line.<\/p>\n
“If I can try to get the best out of myself every week, I know what my abilities are, I know the golf that I can play and if I keep doing that every week, especially in these four big ones each year, I know I’ll have my chances.”<\/p>\n
Having won all four majors, McIlroy’s next significant achievement could be to match Sir Nick Faldo’s European record of six major titles. <\/p>\n
“I’ve always said I’m not going to put a number on it,” added McIlroy, who will play alongside<\/a> world number one Scottie Scheffler and defending champion Xander Schauffele during the first two rounds of the US PGA. <\/p>\n “I’ve talked about becoming the best European ever or the best international player, whatever that is, but the numbers tell one thing and it might not be the full story. <\/p>\n “I feel like I burdened myself with the career Grand Slam stuff and I want to enjoy this. I want to enjoy what I’ve achieved and enjoy the last decade or whatever of my career.<\/p>\n “I don’t want to burden myself with numbers or statistics. I just want to play the best golf I can.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
