McIlroy ponders long break after missing Masters cut

Troubled Rory McIlroy appeared to hit a new low in his golf career today when he shot 77 to miss the cut at The Masters and spoke of possibly not playing again until six weeks’ time.

“I am just not myself at the moment and this is the sort of golf course that makes your mistakes look even worse when you are slightly off,” said the 20-year-old from the North.
