“To find a man’s true character, play golf with him.” – P.G. WodehouseOn Sunday afternoon, an afternoon as unpredictable as the weather in Arizona. Rory McIlroy broke through and tamed the demons. A losing streak in the Majors going back 11-years, as well as finally winning the Major that had become so elusive: The Masters. McIlroy’s best finish was in 2022, where he placed second. A tie for 15th in 2011 where he lost a four-stroke lead, via an 8-over par 80.

Rory McIlroy looked shell-shocked walking off the 18-green at Augusta Thursday afternoon. A fan favorite, McIlroy looked to be in good shape on Day One until he got to the 14th hole. After a birdie putt on 13, the Northern Irishman posted a par, a double bogie on 15, another par on 16, a double bogey on 17, and a semi-reputation saving par on 18. The commentary was head shaking, as it looked as if another opportunity to win the green jacket had gone south for the season.
