Northern Irish golf ace Rory McIlroy is reportedly targeting to win two Major championships this year, believing that he has got his 'mojo' back.

The former world number one ruled the golfing roost in 2012, winning five titles, but a change of equipment and some off-course legal distractions coincided with a slump in form that has seen him slide to sixth in the rankings.

According to Sport24, McIlroy, who ended a 12-month drought by winning last month's Australian Open title against Adam Scott, said that the victory had restored his belief going into the new season and has given him some momentum to win two Majors this year.

McIlroy further said that he won a Major in 2011 and 2012 and none in 2013, for which he would try to make up by striving to win two Majors this year, adding that said he is learning to handle the pressure of competing for golf's top prizes and is now confident with his game and where it is going.

McIlroy, who announced his engagement to former world number one tennis player Caroline Wozniacki earlier this week, won the US Open in 2011 and the US PGA Championship a year later, the report added.
