European Tour to make courses more difficult – McIlroy

Rory McIlroy finished 15 under par with the Dunhill Links

The European Tour must make jobs more difficult if he wants to "reward" good golf, Rory McIlroy insists.

The Northern Irishman clocked a final round of 67 on the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship to add to earlier rounds of 70, 66 and 70.

But that was only enough to make a Joint 26th finish, winner Victor Perez scoring 22 under par.

"I'm tired of coming back to the European Tour and shooting 15 under par and finishing 30th," McIlroy said.

"I don't think the courses are set up hard enough. There is no punishment for bad shots. It's hard to come back when it is, I don't think good golf is rewarded as well as it should be

"It also happened at the Scottish Open. I finished 13, 14 under for the week and again finished 30. It's not a good test.

"I think that if the European Tour wants to present a really good product, the golf course and the set-ups should be more difficult."
