Early in his career, Rory McIlroy appeared as if winning double-digit majors was a no brainer. He won four in his first 25 major starts. Then he stalled and has not won another in his last 33 major starts. And since the start of 2015, no one has more top-10 finishes (18) in majors than McIlroy. Brooks Koepka is second with 17, but five of those produced titles; Dustin Johnson is third with 16, including two majors; and Jordan Spieth is fourth with 13, including three majors.
