Rory McIlroy opens up on ‘hard to watch’ footage and what he refuses to think about
Rory McIlroy has admitted that he struggles to even watch replays of his win over Justin Rose in their Masters play-off. McIlroy had a putt to win his first green jacket, complete the Career Grand Slam and end his 11-year wait for a major title within 72 holes, but his short-range miss meant that his and everyone else’s nerves were put to the test.
The Northern Irishman gathered himself to hit a perfect drive and a stunning approach shot before one-putting for birdie, which was good enough for victory after Rose made par. Now, more than a week later, McIlroy still finds the emotions of the occasion difficult to comprehend.
