The Golf Blog says: 54 hole leader Rory McIlroy shot a disappointing 2-over 74 at Doral and failed to close again on Sunday. Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee asked earlier this month whether Rory might be lifting too much. It’s a legitimate question. Being fit is important, but working out too much with weights may add bulk to the torso. Also, the time spent in the gym may take away time spent at the range, practice hole, and putting green.
