Coach Pete Cowen has urged Rory McIlroy to look to the future ahead of the 85th Masters.

McIlroy, who needs a victory at Augusta National to complete the career grand slam, has begun working with Cowen on a formal basis after recent struggles, including a 6&5 thrashing in the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play by Ian Poulter – another Cowen client.
