Rory McIlroy has remained tight-lipped on an incredible rumoured Masters practice stat.
McIlroy and his rivals are gearing up for the first golf major of the season and should he finally win the event, he will join an illustrious group of players to complete the career Grand Slam. Last week, the Northern Irishman took the opportunity to acclimatise to the conditions at the Augusta National Golf Course.
According to reports on the ground, the 33-year-old made the perfect start to his Masters preparations with a scintillating opening round. It was murmured that he only had 19 putts throughout, and when asked about this quite remarkable stat, McIlroy appeared to neither confirm or deny.
