    1 week ago | heraldscotland.com | Nick Rodger

    Well, have you emerged from behind the couch yet? C’mon, out you come. And you can stop peering through your fingers too. Rory McIlroy did win the Masters. And the career grand slam.

    Rory McIlroy took route 66 back into Masters contention (Image: Getty Images) Right, here’s a bit of a niche introduction for you. The second round of the Masters took place on National Submarine Day. But you knew that, didn’t you? In a peculiar way, this nautical nod was quite fitting in the context of Rory McIlroy’s Augusta assault.

    Robert MacIntyre had to settle for a 75 on day one of the Masters (Image: Ben Jared) And they’re off. At this time of the year, the alluring majesty of the Masters tends to encourage even the most hopelessly inept golfer to dig out the clubs again and give this infernal game another go.
