Rory McIlroy has admitted his frustration at not winning more trophies as he looks to taste success in the Players Championship this week. As well as winning four major titles and playing on three successive victorious Ryder Cup teams, McIlroy has won two World Golf Championship events and two FedEx Cup play-off tournaments, meaning the so-called Fifth Major is high on the agenda.McIlroy has finished eighth, sixth and eighth in the last three years at Sawgrass, but similar statistics so far in 2016 mean the 27-year-old is the only member of the worlds top five without a victory this season. Ahead of the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass, Rory McIlroy and some other familiar faces explain why it is such a special course. Results-wise it isnt what I hoped for, McIlroy said on Wednesday. My performances have been pretty good, Ive had a few chances to win tournaments. Of the nine events Ive played, I have six top-10s so it hasnt been too bad, but no wins.Its been frustrating and especially because I feel like Ive played some really good golf in this stretch, but at the same time theres just been too many mistakes.Again last week I led the field in birdies at Quail Hollow, I was up there at Augusta. Theres just been too many loose shots, too many soft bogeys, so if anything I just need to tidy that up because I know Im playing good enough. Rory McIlroy suffered a miserable downfall at the 2011 Masters Despite those frustrations, McIlroy remains confident in his ability to close out tournaments down the stretch, reiterating that he learnt the most from his collapse in the 2011 Masters.McIlroy, who was four shots clear heading into the final round at Augusta before slumping to a closing 80, added: I dont think I believed I was a good closer until 2012.My wins early on in my career I led by a lot; whether it was my first win in Dubai, I think I was six ahead with six to play and sort of fell over the line there. When I won at Quail Hollow in 2010 I was five behind at the start of the day and I ended up winning by four. US Open was similar in 2011. Danny Willett is pleased to be drawn with Justin Rose and Brandt Snedeker for the opening two rounds At the start of 2012, whenever I needed to hold on on the back nine at the Honda Classic.... Tiger (Woods) had shot 62, I was trying to get in the clubhouse and become world number one for the first time, thats when I really believed Ive finally been able to close a tournament out and be able to play the right shot at the right time and keep it together.It takes experience, it takes losing a few first before understanding what you need to do. Ive always said the biggest learning curve and day of my career was that Sunday at Augusta in 2011. At least I know now exactly what not to do and what doesnt work for me so when I go into these final rounds and situations where I have a chance to win, I know how to handle myself, what way to think.I think thats the big thing, the mentality of learning whats going to be a good score that day, whats going to be the number thats going to win and really try and forget about everything else and try to get to that number.Watch the Players Championship on Sky Sports.

ATLANTA -- Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Quinn said receiver?Julio Jones status for the Christmas Eve matchup against the Carolina Panthers looks promising. Jones is recovering from a toe sprain.Jones missed his second consecutive game Sunday as the Falcons defeated the San Francisco 49ers?41-13. Jones went through a light workout during pregame warm-ups.Im hopeful that hes back, Quinn said of Jones. So, I think that he will (return). Were going to take it all the way through, practice Tuesday and Wednesday, and then well have a good shot. But I am hopeful for that.I cant say its for sure until he can explode like he can, but I think hes a heck of a lot closer than he has been over the last two weeks.Once again Sunday, others stepped up. Last week, Taylor Gabriel and Nick Williams combined for 131 yards on seven catches. This week, Aldrick Robinson turned in a career-high 111-yard effort on four catches and Gabriel scored another touchdown.Even when Julio is playing, he comes out the game sometimes, Robinson said. When he comes out the game, we still believee we can be as efficient as we want to be.ddddddddddddThe Falcons have other injury concerns besides Jones. Rookies DeVondre Campbell and Austin Hooper exited Sundays game with a concussion and knee injury, respectively. Hooper exited the locker room without crutches but wore a large knee brace. Quinn did not have an immediate update on those players.If Campbell is unable to play against the Panthers, Paul Worrilow likely would move into the starting lineup at weakside linebacker. And if Hooper is sidelined for any period of time, it wouldnt be a surprise to see the Falcons elevate D.J. Tialavea from the practice squad to be the third tight end and join?Levine Toilolo and rookie Joshua Perkins.Defensive lineman Adrian Clayborn (knee), cornerback Jalen Collins, safety Robenson Therezie (ankle) and receiver Williams (concussion) all were inactive against the 49ers, but Quinn said he expects to get some players back for Carolina.
