Rory On Rory's Play: "I've got to stop being so angry"

Derek Lawrenson with the short take on Rory McIlroy's frustrating Bay Hill week, which included six doubles but plenty of birdies too.

The defending champion at the WGC Dell Match Play isn't too upset about his game.

McIlroy conceded he was getting too down on himself during rounds. 'I've got to stop being so angry and not let the mistakes linger, because they're clearly leading to more mistakes,' he said.

Handicappers take note, McIlroy says the kind of golf he's playing will work well in the match play.

At least this fine round left him in good spirits for the defence of his WGC-Match Play Championship in Texas this week. 'I'm playing perfect golf for that event, given I can only lose a hole for each double bogey, and I'm making bags of birdies,' he commented wryly.
