ORLANDO, Fla. Two tweaks have Rory McIlroy in position to earn his first PGA Tour title in 18 months.The first was to McIlroys long game.One of the games preeminent ball-strikers and most prodigious drivers, he has struggled over the past few weeks, including a missed cut at last weeks Valspar Championship.The fix was a feeling with his backswing. He said that hes trying to feel as though hes making a three-quarter backswing, because when hes too long he misses both ways.Im just bunting it around, he said with a smile, but actually hes ranked first in driving distance this week.The second fix was to his maligned putting stroke.Ranked 124th on Tour in putting, McIlroy met with former PGA Tour player and putting savant Brad Faxon for a few hours Monday at the Bears Club in South Florida.

I didnt really hit many putts, McIlroy said. It was more of a psychology lesson than anything else.The goal was to making McIlroys putting more instinctive and reactive, instead of being bogged down with mechanics.It has worked so far. Through three rounds, he is ranked second in strokes gained-putting, gaining more than seven-and-a-half shots on the field on the greens.McIlroys third-round 67 put him in the penultimate group, just two shots back of Henrik Stenson.I cant really ask for much more, McIlroy said.
