RORY MCILROY hopes the "stars are aligning" as he seeks to repeat history at the US PGA this week after winning his two events before Valhalla, just like in his golden summer of 2014.
A decade ago, ago, the Ulsterman took the Open and the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational before lifting his fourth Major in Louisville.
Now the 35-year-old has won back-to-back in New Orleans and North Carolina before the US PGA returns to Kentucky this week.
"I just need to replicate whatever I did in 2014, just try to do that all over again," said McIlroy.
"I've really got some confidence. My golf swing feels a lot more comfortable so, going to a venue where I've already won, it feels like the stars are aligning a little bit.
"I went through a bit of a quiet spell at the start of this year but I feel like I'm back where I need to be. I am feeling really good about my game.
