The article discusses Rory McIlroy's performance in The Masters and how it relates to his overall golf career.
Tears would flow during a phone call with his parents the following morning, but at his press conference, McIlroy was upbeat. “I’m very disappointed at the minute, and I’m sure I will be for the next few days, but I’ll get over it,” he said. “Luckily, it did not take me long to get into a position like that again when I was leading a major and I was able to get over the line quite comfortably. It was a huge learning curve for me and I needed it, and thankfully I have been able to move on to bigger and better things. “Looking back on what happened in 2011, it doesn’t seem as bad when you have four majors on your mantelpiece.”
McIlroy’s contentment came with a caveat: it would be “unthinkable” if he did not win The Masters in his career. Yet as he prepares for his 15th appearance at Augusta National this week, a green jacket remains an elusive missing item from his wardrobe.
Despite seven top-10 finishes in his past 10 Masters outings, the trophy remains the only thing separating McIlroy from joining the ranks of golf immortals to have completed golf’s career grand slam of all four majors in the modern era: Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods.
A runner-up finish to Scottie Scheffler last year marked McIlroy’s best finish at Augusta, yet arguably 2011 remains the closest he has ever been to victory. A slow start in 2022 meant McIlroy had begun Sunday’s deciding round 10 shots adrift of the American, who teed off for his final hole with a five-shot lead despite McIlroy’s brilliant 64 finish.
At 33 years old, time is still on his side. Though 2022 extended his major drought to eight years, it featured arguably his best golf since that golden season in 2014.
And as McIlroy knows better than most, things can change quickly at Augusta National.

. Seven top-10 finishes in 10 Masters outings, but that green jacket's still MIA 
. Thinkin' 'bout his best finish was last year's runner-up, but 2011 was closest he got to winnin'. Time's on his side now at 33 
. Can't wait to see what this week brings for him! 
. He's been playin' like a pro for years, but he still can't seem to get that Masters title 
. It's almost like he's bein' held back or somethin'. And don't even get me started on this whole "it's just part of the game" thing 
. I mean, have you seen his stats? The guy's a machine! He's due for that Masters title big time 
.
. Despite having 4 majors already, that green jacket seems forever out of reach for him 
. Seven top-10 finishes at Augusta is impressive, but we've seen many great golfers come close and fall short 
.
. His 2022 season was a great one, arguably his best in years 
️. But things can change quickly at Augusta National – just ask anyone who's been there before 
. McIlroy knows that, and that's what makes this drought so frustrating for him 
Would it be enough to cement his place among golf immortals? 
u feel? he's so close tho, 7 top-10 finishes in 10 yrs, thats no joke 
. its like he knows what to do but just can't seal the deal...time's on his side tho, he's only 33 lol 
. And what's with the 2022 drought being touted as "arguably his best golf since 2014"? Didn't he have a major win in 2014? 
I mean, four majors is still a huge accomplishment. But what really got me is that he's only one more win away from joining the "immortals" of golf history! 
. I get what he's saying - it is pretty huge pressure to be leading the tournament and then not coming out on top 
. At 33, time is still on his side, so let's see what happens next 
. Maybe this will be the year he finally gets that green jacket 
!
. Four majors under his belt, yeah that's no joke! 
. Not bad, but not quite good enough to keep him in the mix with the all-time greats 
.
. Seven top-10 finishes in 10 years is no joke, but that one green jacket is still elusive for him. He's at a point where time's on his side, and 33 isn't old for golf. The thing that's got me thinking is how quickly it can all change at Augusta - you see what happens to other players when they're in the mix...
