James Corrigan reports for the Telegraph on Rory McIlroy moving to guru Pete Cowen as he tries to win the Masters. He was not able to get confirmation but Bob Harig of ESPN.com did get this from McIlroy’s righthand man:

"Pete is an addition to Rory's performance team,'' Sean O'Flaherty, McIlroy's agent, wrote in a text message to ESPN.

What’s unclear according to Corrigan: if Michael Bannon, who has worked with McIlroy for over two decades, remains on the “performance team.”

Two weeks ago McIlroy walked back post-round comments that he would be making changes to his team.
