AUGUSTA, Ga. — In Rory McIlroy at the Masters, are we watching a Greg Norman parallel unfold before our eyes?
Are we in the midst of witnessing a similar scenario at Augusta National where the pressure has become so acute and the desire to win a Green Jacket so suffocatingly intense that it adversely affects McIlroy’s play at the major championship he most craves to win?
Since winning the 2014 PGA Championship (which also happens to be his last major championship victory), McIlroy stands at the precipice of making history as just the sixth player in history to complete a career Grand Slam.
Only a Masters Green Jacket is missing.
