Rory McIlroy enlists help of veteran coach Butch Harmon to prep for Augusta

Irish man knows the clock is ticking for him to break his Masters duck. And he's ready to do whatever it takes to slip on that green jacket on Augusta Sunday

BACK TO THE FUTURE: McIlroy with Butch Harmon at Baltusrol in 2016.

The winner of this week’s Valero Texas Open in San Antonio takes away more than the $1.65m on offer for finishing first – he will also earn the final spot available for next week’s Masters as Augusta National.

The field features 30 players who already are exempt for the Masters, including Rory McIlroy who has been urged to ‘block out the baggage’ as he bids again to break his Augusta duck.
