Rory McIlroy has revealed that he is planning to be aggressive in the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow this week.

A frustrating week with the putter forced the world number one to settle for eighth place in the Players Championship, but he is confident that a slightly different approach will serve him better in North Carolina.

"I'm really happy with where everything is from tee to green," McIlroy told reporters. "So more of the same with that and just hole a few more putts.

"I felt the ones that had a chance weren't quite rolling past the hole, they were just getting to the hole and sort of dying away. I was maybe just hitting putts a little too soft at times.

"I'll try to get the speed a bit better and be a bit more aggressive on the greens and hopefully that will make a difference."

McIlroy has finished in the top 10 in four of his last five appearances at Quail Hollow.
