Rory McIlroy has claimed his past major heartaches have given him the strength to finally win the Masters this weekend.
The Ulsterman is joint favourite with world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler to claim a Green Jacket and complete his career Grand Slam. World No. 2 McIlroy has won four majors but missed the cut at his home Open at Royal Portrush and blew a four-shot lead in the final round here in 2011.
“I have had some great experiences here and some experiences I have needed to get over a little bit,” he said. “I have always said that the moments that make you vulnerable and provide the most disappointments also provide the most learning and lessons.
