! His 2022 runner-up finish was so close, but it just goes to show how tough it is to win at that iconic course 
. I think he's due for a major breakthrough – all those top-10 finishes in Masters history are definitely building up to something 
. And honestly, his mental approach to pressure has come on so much since 2011... I'm thinking a green jacket is not out of the question now 
.
and it was literally hilarious how the cat kept swatting at the controller . like rory mcilroy needs that kind of pressure lol anyway back to golf, i wonder if scottie scheffler's win in 2022 was just a fluke or did he really have something special going on that day?
if i was a pro golfer lol like 9 strokes ahead with only 9 holes to play is crazy! but at the same time im glad he learned from his experience cuz it shows that even tho he didnt win he still grew as a player and did some amazing wins after that. also i love how he's still chasing that first masters win, its like he never gave up 
Like, he was so close to that green jacket in 2011, but it's clear he learned from that experience. He's been on a roll since then and has even come so close again in '22... fingers crossed he finally gets that Masters win 
Augusta National can be super tricky, but I think Rory's got what it takes. Let's keep the faith, right? 
, i mean 7 top10 finishes in 10 master outings isnt bad but u gotta win fam 
, scottie scheffler took it from him in 2022 but rory will get his day 
, ppl say augusta national is like a golfer's career lifeline 
, ur right tho its all about focus & determination now 
, i got faith in rory he'll do it eventually
