Rory unfazed by winless start to golf year

World No.3 golfer Rory McIlroy says there's nothing wrong with his game, while dismissing negative spin over his winless start to the season.

Rory McIlroy has expressed frustration at the negative spin that has been aimed at the Northern Irish golfer's winless start to the season, adding there is nothing wrong with his game.

The 27-year-old has four top-10 finishes from his 10 tournaments this year, his best showing being two tied-third results.

The World No.3's last victory came in November when he won the World Tour championships in Dubai, but McIlroy brushed aside concerns about a dip in form.

"I know expectations for myself are higher than other players, but you look at my record this year and my bad weeks are top-10s, basically," McIlroy was quoted in the British media.

"It frustrates me that the narrative is, 'there's something missing in Rory's game or what's wrong with Rory?'. I don't feel like there's anything wrong."

McIlroy's next tournament will be the Irish Open which begins on Thursday at the K Club in County Kildare.
