Rory McIlroy revealed one change that would improve the Truist Championship course. McIlroy, playing in the PGA Tour signature tournament this week, finished the second round on Friday, May 9. Following the round, he attended a press conference at the Philadelphia Cricket Club (Wissahickon Course) and shared his views about the course.McIlroy said that due to the rain-plagued weather conditions, it would have been better if the course had been designed in a way that the ball travelled a bit shorter. “It's a little more strategic. Even today, heavier air, rain, and a bit of wind. I draw back on a few holes, and then I hit driver on a couple. It is -- I mean, I think there's a lot of debate about it, but if the golf ball just went a little shorter, this course would be awesome. Not that it isn't awesome anyway, but right now for the distances we hit it, it's probably 500 or 600 yards too short,” he said (via ASAP Sports).“Yeah, it would be amazing to be able to play courses like this the way the architect wanted you to play them. So, yeah, like it does, it gives you a better appreciation when you play them in these conditions for sure,” Rory McIlroy added.Rory McIlroy will play the third and fourth rounds on Saturday, May 10, and Sunday.
