Sir Nick Faldo believes Rory McIlroy is at the peak of his powers and has enjoyed “ideal preparation” ahead of his latest bid to win the Masters and complete a career grand slam.

McIlroy needs to earn a green jacket to join Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods in having won all four major titles.
