Graeme McDowell suggests form is a factor in Rory McIlroy switching management team

Graeme McDowell believes Rory McIlroy's poor form this season is behind his decision to create his own management group.
The confirmation of McIlroy's multi-million pound deal with Nike coincided with a run of poor form at the start of 2013, which culminated in him walking off the course during the second round of the Honda Classic. He initially told reporters he was in a "bad place mentally" before a statement was issued on his behalf citing pain from a wisdom tooth as the reason for his withdrawal.
