For our fourth Masters preview we now focus our attention on 2 European stars, Rory Mcllroy and Luke Donald. They currently hold the top 2 spots in the Official World Golf Rankings and are considered to be favorites this week among the critics.
Name: Rory Mcllroy
Age: 22
World Ranking: 2
Major Titles: 1
Finish last year: T-15
What he needs to do to win: If Mcllroy wants a piece of revenge, after last years meltdown during the final round at Augusta, he must have nerves of steel. It was dreadful to see such a talented player breakdown, but Mcllroy bounced back a few months later and won his first major, the U.S. Open. And this occurrence allowed us to be believe, he could possibly become World #1, which he did after winning the Honda Classic this year. If Mcllroy stays level headed, he might just find himself wearing the green jacket on Easter Sunday.
What can go wrong: The most obvious would be a reiteration of his final round last year. The pressure of winning can even make the best players in the world choke. Mcllroy is pretty much fire with every club in the bag, but to pin point a possible setback, I believe the driver will be a determining factor.
Predicted Finish: Mcllroy should have no problem finishing within the top-10, but I predict a top-5. With a win here, Mcllroy can become World #1 for the second time in his career.
