The Masters: Will Rory McIlroy finally win at Augusta?
Eight months earlier, he had won his second US PGA Championship, three weeks after winning The Open at Royal Hoylake. That took his tally to four majors, having also won the 2011 US Open and 2012 US PGA.A win at the Masters would complete golf's crowning glory of a career Grand Slam, and see McIlroy join five others - Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen - in a pantheon of greatness.
His age is ammunition for detractors, especially as a swathe of younger golfers keep donning the Green Jacket. It cannot be argued that either Sergio Garcia or Dustin Johnson were past it when they conquered Augusta. Do not forget Woods won in 2019 at 43 years old - even if that was his fifth Masters title.And then there is Nicklaus – he remains the oldest Masters winner from his record sixth victory as a spry 46-year-old in 1986.How does world ranking affect performance at the Masters?
Indeed, McIlroy's best Masters performances have married with this metric - fourth for GIR and fourth overall in 2015 and similarly second for both in 2022.However. given the world number one's celestial approach play over the past two seasons, it is hard to imagine anyone beating him for GiR this year.
As the map below shows, of his 18 wins in the United States, all but two have come inside 1,000 miles away from Augusta National and 13 of those wins come within a 500-mile radius.He has multiple victories at East Lake in Atlanta and at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, North Carolina. Both golf courses are a mere 140 miles away from the Masters.
