Rory shouts: McIlroy has the opportunity to rewrite ending in 2011 and finish a professional grand slam
Augusta National promises to be the crucible of golf’s ruthless drama.
Rory McIlroy poured his life into it after overcoming a bleak start on Thursday. McIlroy learned from the joyful well-raised parenting that later that night, his daughter Poppy went to bed. He returned to the course, was fired and focused.
Based on the second fried bird, this is the 89th Master on fire. McIlroy, who chased the elusive professional grand slam for more than a decade, found himself at the intersection after Thursday’s development round. Both the double bogey of 15 and 17 holes made him even shaking in the leaves in Augusta’s ruthless wind, his dreams shaking like leaves.
But Friday is a revelation.
McIlroy defeated a Wuji 66ers, including six birdies, including an eagle on the 13th, and his pine Straw’s long iron found redemption on the green. McIlroy’s journey in Augusta has been traumatized. The green jacket is all he needs to complete his professional collection. However, this is still his most elusive award. Perhaps it was the expected weight that prevented him from adding to his four majors – the last one was in 2014. Despite Europe’s dominance and on the PGA Tour, McIlroy Covets has had a huge success in history and the road to IT has passed by Augusta. Psychologist Bob Rotella was on the scene Friday. “Be patient,” is McIlroy’s advice. McIlroy stood under the plateau pines on the right side of the second fairway and summoned all the patience he needed. Awkwardly laying from the pine straw, he not only escaped, but also extracted a brilliant little bird. It triggered a stunning turnaround, earning him a 6.67 shot on the court and throwing upwards on Friday. Since debuting at the Masters in 2009, McIlroy has experienced almost all the emotions Augusta can offer – except for the fun of wearing a green jacket. His pursuit of a title is defined by near-miss and heartbroken, most notably in 2011, when he advanced with four strokes to the final round but ended with 80-point handstand-down. Sixteen years later, McIlroy continued to provide care for the wound. He is very close in 2022, thrilling his customers with dramatic loopholes in the 18-year-old sand, second only to Scottie Scheffler. Some wounds may eventually be healed this year.
Justin Rose competed with a 1,000-1 long shot. However, with 65 shots in the first round, his odds have been cut to 15-2 after a steady 71 on Friday. After winning his first and only major title, he has fought for another title in the past decade. Although he finished second in the Masters in 2015 and 2017, the top ten in 2021 is his recent green jacket.
Rose, 44, looks like there is a major Renaissance ready-made-if the wind blows. His ability to drive a whirlwind shows why he is still one of the biggest brain players in golf. With Sunday dawn, he not only carries his experience with him, but also has an atmosphere of possibility.
With the how-called wind, Scottie Scheffler’s swing is usually shaking, creating five flammable fires, including the Tweet tee on the 18th and Mulan. The world ranked number one, in a thick growth, sitting under his ball under the branches, looking for escape.
However, he shows why he is the most unwavering golfer in the game, unwavering.
“In the case, it’s really hard – when you get green quickly, you get that much wind.”
“But I did a great job, doing some keys up and down. I feel like I did some good things in the game.” Bryson DeChambeau has long been known for his scientific method of golf – calculating angles and distances with almost obsessed precision. However, on Friday, it was his artistic ability with putters that stole the show.
Dechambeau is ahead of driving distance at 15 yards, pairing the original power with Augusta’s Greens. McIlroy’s pursuit of a professional grand slam, Rose’s historical pursuit, Scheffler’s third title, DeChambeau’s redemption – Augusta’s weekend is expected to be a spectacle.
