Rory McIlroy believes that he could have had more success in 2011 despite claiming his first ever major at the US Open.
The 22-year-old, who reached number two in the world rankings, suffered a crushing defeat at the Masters in August before making a sensational comeback in America.
"I suppose I was a little bit surprised at myself how quickly I bounced back from Augusta. I thought it might've taken a little bit longer to get over it, but apart from that, it feels like I could've won a few more tournaments," said McIlroy.
"I had chances to win and not taken them. I've won twice this year but I feel I could've won at least two or three more times. It's been a great year, the most successful of my career so far, but I feel like I can still improve, there's still areas of my game that can get better."
The Northern Irishman is in contention to surpass Luke Donald at the top of the European money list as he enters the Hong Kong Open.
