Northern Irish golfer Rory McIlroy, former world number one, on Sunday criticized the courses of the European circuit that he does not consider selective enough.
"Honestly I'm disgusted to get back on the European circuit -15 under par, but finish 30th," lamented McIlroy, quoted by Sky Sports.
The North Irish star actually finished 26th in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, which was competing on the prestigious course of Saint Andrews (Scotland), 7 strokes from Frenchman Victor Perez winner with an outstanding score of -22.
"I do not think the courses are complicated enough, we do not get penalized when we miss a shot, it's hard to get back in these conditions," said the 4 Major's laureate on the American PGA circuit. .
"I think that if the European circuit wants to offer a very good product, the golf courses and their facilities must be more difficult," he suggested.
In previous European tournaments in which he has participated this season, the N.2 world was second in the Omega European Masters, despite a score of - 14 after a play-off, played on 1 September in Crans Montana (Switzerland), then last weekend at -11 at the PGA Championship in Wentworth, England, 9 shots of winner Danny Willett.
