Rory McIlroy has confirmed he will put a new putting technique into play in this weeks WGC-Cadillac Championship at Doral. McIlroy has been struggling on the greens over the early stages of the year, and his frustration was clearly evident when he missed three putts from inside five feet during the first round of last weeks Honda Classic.The four-time major champion fared little better on day two and missed the halfway cut by a shot, prompting him to implement a new set-up with the short-stick ahead of the first World Golf Championship event of the season. Rory McIlroy feels it is time to try a new putting grip after a poor performance at the Honda Classic McIlroy has changed to a left-hand below right-hand grip, which he has not used since 2008, and he has vowed to stick with the technique whatever the results at Doral.Its a drill that Ive been doing for a while because I feel like my left hand sort of controls my putting stroke and thats the sort of lead hand for me, said the world No 3. I felt like, over the past few weeks, my right hand was becoming a little bit too dominant. McIlroy has used a conventional putting grip since his first year on Tour in 2008 I practiced over the weekend just with left below right and it felt really, really good. The roll of the ball is really good, the contact is much better, and it really just takes my right hand out of it. Im going to give it a try this week and see where we go with it.I used it back my first year on Tour in 2008 for a while. But its a drill that Ive always done, and Ive putted a lot just with my left hand. Its one of those things where the drill started to feel a little bit better than the real thing, so Im just going to stick with it. I feel like its something Im going to stick with regardless of what the outcome is tomorrow or this week or next week. If it doesnt work right from the get-go tomorrow, youre not going to see me on Friday morning putting conventional again.McIlroy will play the first two rounds with the two men ahead of him in the world rankings, Jordan Spieth and Jason Day, and he is looking forward to the challenge as well as feeling the buzz surrounding the marquee group. Jordan Spieth and Jason Day will play alongside McIlroy over the first two days Ive played a lot with Jason and a lot with Jordan over the past few years, but we havent really played much together in a three-ball, he added. So the next two days are going to be enjoyable.It will be good out there, hopefully a little bit of buzz around that group. So very much looking forward to that.McIlroy is also determined to eliminate the mistakes that blighted his challenge at PGA National, where he battled hard to remain inside the cut line until he suffered a triple-bogey with four holes of his second round remaining. McIlroy admitted to making I was making mental errors, Mcllroy added. I got myself into a decent position on Friday, played the first nine holes pretty solidly, and I hit a good one tee shot on the first hole, which was our 10th. I had 120 yards to the pin in the middle of the fairway with a wedge and I made bogey. I hit a pretty poor second shot just sort of the left side in the fringe.But there was a lot of good in there, I made more birdies over the first two days than Rickie (Fowler) did, and Rickie is leading the tournament. So if I can limit my mistakes and not make these silly mental errors and just play a little more? The worlds top three players are grouped together over the first two rounds I dont know if its smartly or conservatively or take an extra couple of seconds just to think about what you really need to do with it. Im a very instinctive player, so I step up and I hit it. Sometimes that can work for me if everything is going with me and I have momentum.But if Im battling and grinding, that can work against me sometimes. Its trying to find a balance, but I still felt like there was enough good in there to at least be there for the weekend. You make nine birdies in the first two rounds, but theres 13 dropped shots in there, its never too good. So its really just about trying to limit those mistakes this week.Dont miss the first WGC event of the season. Live coverage starts Thursday at 6pm on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf.

He said Tuesday thats a big reason why he is now the new coach of the Tennessee Titans. Whisenhunt said he hit it off quickly with Ruston Webster when interviewing for the job Friday night. HOUSTON -- Last season, Houston outlasted Louisville 34-31 thanks in part to miscues by Cardinals quarterback Lamar Jackson in his first career start.Things have changed.Jackson is now the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy and has No. 3 Louisville (9-1) in the hunt for a spot in the College Football Playoff as the Cardinals visit Houston on Thursday night .Jackson threw for 168 yards and a touchdown against the Cougars last season. But also tossed two interceptions, and a late touchdown pass by Greg Ward helped Houston to the victory.Were a much different team than we were last year, Louisville coach Bobby Petrino said. Right then we were trying to even find out who we are and what we were doing and everything was new to Lamar when he was out there ... just understanding the difference between high school football and college football. So I dont think last years game will play into this game at all.This season, Jackson has thrown for 2,898 yards and 27 touchdowns. He has added 1,334 yards rushing and leads the nation with 19 rushing touchdowns.His performance has helped the Cardinals rise to No. 5 in the CFP rankings with two games remaining. But Petrino insists that they arent overly concerned with the rankings and are instead focused on the Cougars.They just have to understand that they need to go out and play well, and play the type of football we are capable of playing, Petrino said. Really, thats what we need to do our last two games, and then whatever happens, happens. We cant control any of that.The Cougars (8-2) will counter with Ward, their dual-threat quarterback. He has 2,608 yards passing with 16 touchdowns and 429 yards rushing and nine more scores. Coach Tom Herman said hell play on Thursday despite leaving Saturdays game against Tulane after aggravating a shoulder injury hes been dealing with for several weeks and being bothered by an ankle injury.He is pretty banged up, as he has been most of the year, Herman said. He still gets treatment threee times a day on his ankle that really slowed him down in the SMU game and in that stretch in October .dddddddddddd.. (but) hes going to play.Some things to know about the Louisville-Houston game:STREAKINGThe Cougars have the second-longest home winning streak in the nation at 14 games. They havent lost at home since a 31-24 defeat by Tulane on Nov. 8, 2014. They have won five straight games over Top 25 teams and opened their 2016 campaign with a 33-23 win over then-No. 3 Oklahoma.THE `OTHER BACKSomewhat overshadowed by Jacksons running success is senior RB Brandon Radcliff, whose 141-yard, three-TD effort helped ignite Louisvilles comeback over Wake Forest last week. His first 100-yard performance in six games gave him 768 for the season and an outside chance at giving the Cardinals their first pair of 1,000-yard rushers.BACKING UP WARDWard will have a new backup on Thursday after Kyle Postma broke his arm last week. Postma had surgery to insert a plate and screws in his arm on Monday, leaving DEriq King to back up Ward for the rest of the season. The freshman was a high school quarterback, but has appeared in 10 games with four starts at receiver this season. He has 228 yards receiving and a touchdown.NOTHING DOINGLouisvilles defense has stiffened since losing to Clemson, yielding of average of just 14.2 points and under 246.4 yards in five games. The Cardinals held Wake Forest to 214 yards -- just 37 in the second half -- and rank sixth nationally in total defense at 285.2 yards per contest.BACK AND FEELING GOODHouston LB Tyus Bowser had a career-high 11 tackles, included a career-best three sacks last week against Tulane in his return from injury. Bowser had missed the previous five games after a scuffle with teammate Matthew Adams left Bowser with a facial fracture.---AP Sports Writer Gary B. Graves contributed to this report.
