Augusta pays no heeds to past deeds and the course is an entirely different beast. Just ask Justin Rose, another heavily-tipped contender, or last year's champion Patrick Reed. Stacked as the leaderboard was, on Masters Sunday, not all the top guns were there.
Following his round, and while Tiger Woods was coming down the stretch like a locomotive, McIlroy spoke with the press pack about his latest Masters outing. He admitted he may play a tournament the week before the 2020 Masters, to dial himself in, and identified the holes that hobbled his charge.
"I don't know [what I will take from this week]," he began. "I mean like my game is still there. I hit a few loose shots and cost myself a few too many bogeys. And that was really it. "I think I played just... I played the par‑5s in 11‑under for the week. I must have played the par‑3s in about even or even a bit under par. So it was really the par‑4s."McIlroy was just off with his call on shots lost or won at the pars- 3, 4 and 5.
