27% of pros expect Rory McIlroy to complete slam at Augusta

Just 27% of Rory McIlroy’s fellow professionals think the world No.1 will complete the career grand slam by winning the Masters this week.

But the good news for the 25-year-old is that he is far more popular than defending champion Bubba Watson, who cannot rely on too much support if he gets into a fight at Augusta National.

Those were among the results gleaned by an ESPN.com survey of 103 tour professionals — 21 of whom were Major champions — who anonymously answered questions on a wide range of topics.
