Johnny: New Sticks Will Cost Rory In 2013 Majors
/Johnny Miller cooked up some nice bulletin board material for Rory McIlroy heading into the Masters.
From the April Golf Magazine via golf.com:
Rory's switch to Nike clubs might cost him in the majors this year. They could be great clubs, but it takes time to adjust to a whole new set -- especially when he had so much momentum late in 2012 with his old ones. Trust me: I switched to new clubs in 1976 and was never the same golfer. I wish Rory the best, but it might take three months to a year before he's fully comfortable with his new gear. It takes time to trust them under major pressure. You might have a 5-wood that you hit great on the range or in the first round, and then on Sunday... pull-hook! You have to have confidence to win the Masters, so he'll need some good finishes leading up to Augusta.
