Former major champion Rich Beem believes Rory McIlroy can win the Masters by learning from the “surgical” approach of Jordan Spieth.

Spieth almost became the first debutant to win the Masters since 1979 when he finished runner-up to Bubba Watson in 2014, returning 12 months later to cruise to victory with a then-record total of 18 under par.
