Rory McIlroy must take risk assessment strategy

The early indication yesterday was that Augusta had been set up fairly. 

Soft conditions have made pins accessible and fittingly for the fist major championship of the year, the thoroughbreds like Bubba Watson, Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose came out of the blocks fast, announcing their intentions from the off.

The middle of the green is his mantra for the time being, but when some of the games best players are gamely shooting darts at their soft receptive targets and pouring in the putts, it is tempting to follow suit.
