AUGUSTA, Ga. — A picture of Rory McIlroy was displayed on a giant screen inside a packed interview room at Augusta National on Tuesday. There was McIlroy, arms raised and jubilance all over his face, after holing out from the bunker on No. 18 at last year’s Masters. The shot culminated a course-tying-record round of 64 and a second-place finish.
“Obviously, the last time this tournament was played, I walked away from the course and the tournament pretty happy with myself, as you can see on the screen over there,” McIlroy said in reference to the moment captured in time.
It wouldn’t be the last time the image was mentioned.
