For Rory McIlroy, 2011 will be all about consistency.
The 21-year-old from Northern Ireland, who even Tiger Woods has pegged as future No. 1, had some stellar performances tying for third at both the British Open and the PGA Championship. But he also failed to win on the European Tour and saw his world ranking drop from No. 9 to No. 10.
McIlroy admitted Òhe has given himself a few chancesÓ on the European Tour this year but for the most part ÒhasnÕt played good enough. He noted that he finished third in Abu Dhabi, was in contention at the Dubai Desert Classic and just missed out in a playoff at the French Open.
Looking ahead to 2011, McIlroy says he's 'just looking for a bit more consistency' and wants to try to improve 'and feel as if I'm on the right track.'
