Rory McIlroy aiming for driving consistency

Rory McIlroy has admitted that he will be concentrating on improving his driving ahead of the Dubai Desert Classic next week.

The 22-year-old finished runner-up to Robert Rock at the Abu Dhabi Championship last week, despite a disappointing tournament with the driver.

McIlroy said: "[I'll] work on still the same things that I was working on coming into [last] week, a little bit of posture, trying to get the club in the right position on the way back.

"[In Abu Dhabi] I improved off the tee every day. [On Sunday] I didn't miss a fairway until the 11th I think, and that was a big improvement and something I still have to work on."

In 2009 McIlroy won his first tournament as a professional in Dubai.
