Rory McIlroy will favour patience and discipline over any highlight-reel heroics as he bids to win the Masters and complete a career grand slam.
And the four-time major winner believes missing the cut in his final event before travelling to Augusta National could end up working in his favour.
Since winning the Open Championship in 2014 to claim the third leg of the grand slam, McIlroy has had seven attempts to win a green jacket and join Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods in having won all four major titles.
