McIlroy has a certain prickish quality in the way that he carries himself that is certainly off-putting.
One of the things that bothers me about him is his mental game. He's immensely talented, but he can't win a tournament unless he is playing on his A game. He doesn't have any grind in him. He either assaults a course and blows away the field or withers.
He's not the kind of player who can go head to head with someone if he's playing at a B level.
