Rory McIlroy flying under the radar in quest to break Masters duck
Rory McIlroy summed it up perfectly when he said he felt less "exposed" at this year's Masters than he did in 2015, when his quest for the career grand slam and the return of Tiger Woods dominated the build-up.
Twelve months on, McIlroy is making his second attempt to join Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Woods in winning all four major titles, while Woods remains sidelined following three back operations in the space of 19 months.
