PARIS — Rory McIlroy is hoping to ease some of the heartbreak of his recent major troubles by winning 'probably' his biggest title in 10 years this week at the Paris Olympics .The Northern Irishman fell agonizingly short of winning his first major title since 2014 at this year's US Open when he missed two short putts in the final three holes, losing by one shot to Bryson DeChambeau.The world No. 3 then missed the British Open cut at Troon.
McIlroy has won 17 PGA Tour titles since the last of his four major triumphs, including three Tour Championships and the Players Championship, but says Olympic gold would rank at least alongside those successes.'It would be the achievement, certainly of the year, if not — I think for me, it's well-documented that I haven't won one of the big four in 10 years,' he told reporters on Tuesday.'It would probably be one of, if not the biggest in my career for the last 10 years.
