Does Rory McIIroy need to improve his game in difficult weather conditions?

As it has cost this week and probably cost him at last year's Open Championship as he looked on course to rip St Andrews and the Dubai Desert Clic course apart until it became windy. As Rory was 16 under for his other 3 rounds at the Open last year and 11 under after 36 holes this week. If it weren't for that dreadful second round 80 last year at St Andrews then Rory was on set to beat or equal at least Tiger's record of 19 under 269 at the Old Course in an Open seeing as Rory had broken 70 on all his previous rounds at St Andrews excluding that 80 he shot in the second round in the Open. And as we know Rory could have also became the first person to shoot 62 in an Open or any Major for that matter when he missed a good chance on the Road Hole in the first round. But Rory is still learning his trade at the moment and will only get better and will be just a matter of time before Rory wins a major and holds a couple of the 72 hole scoring records in majors as he has everything you want in a player. I think he will definitely win the Open at St Andrews in future and maybe at other Open courses and also has a great chance at the US PGA although I am not sure about the US Masters and US Open. But maybe he will win all 4 Majors (the career Grand Slam) throughout his career, we will just need to wait and see. One thing is for sure is that he is a very exciting and talented young player who is capable of shooting 63s and 62s on really difficult courses.
