Rory McIlroy has shown many times during his career how strong a desire he has to win. It sometimes happens that a Northern Irish golfer goes too far in that huge desire and burns out in the pursuit of the trophy.
However, he is aware that at this year's Ryder Cup he will play an important role as the leader of a generation that wants to break the curse and finally celebrate on the away court.
The public in Europe expects serious results from Rory McIlroy, and Bob MacIntyre's coach Simon Shanks believes that the 36-year-old will be extremely motivated after completing the Grand Slam.
His victory in April was a moment that marked the season, but also one that fans had been waiting for years.

Although he had certain crises during this season, his form amazed the public, as Rory once again showed the consistency that has kept him at the top of golf for years.
Consistency
Being at the top of the rankings for years is not easy, even for the best. Although some criticized Rory McIlroy for not winning the Masters, being consistently among the best in such fierce competition and being at the very top is something that Rory can be proud of.
After the victory at the Masters, a huge pressure fell from his back, and this further awakened the desire for one great feat; by winning on the US soil.
