Last year, Rory McIlroy finally captured his first green jacket after winning the Masters in a playoff over Justin Rose. His experience at Augusta National is much different this year than what he’s used to. For starters, he hosted the annual Champions Dinner with his own personal menu. He’s able to walk into the champions locker room on the grounds now, too.
There’s still plenty of eyes on McIlroy this week as he looks to defend his Masters title. If he’s successful, the Irishman would become just the fourth golfer ever to win back-to-back Masters titles. His first round is putting him on the right track to accomplish this feat.
