Rory McIlroy pinpoints moment that halted his career momentum as he targets Masters glory

Rory McIlroy will head to Augusta this week looking to recapture the form which saw him capture his four major championships.

However, the last of those came back in 2014 at the US PGA, and he still needs a Masters title to complete a career Grand Slam. He came close at August previously, most notably in 2011 when he went into the final round on 12-under par, four strokes clear of the chasing pack.

The Northern Irishman then endured a nightmare on the Sunday, shooting 80. It was the highest round from any final day leader of the tournament, and left him tied for 15th as Charl Schwartzel came through to win.
