Rory McIlroy's journey in professional golf is marked by his intense desire to achieve a Grand Slam title. Born in Holywood, Co Down, he showcased prodigious talent from a young age, winning world championships as a child. Despite his fame and success, McIlroy has struggled with self-doubt, often feeling like a 'nearly man.' His candidness about his inner turmoil resonates with fans. His recent remarks highlight carrying the burden of past losses since 2014 and the commitment required to reach the pinnacle of his sport, which would firmly establish him as the first European Grand Slam winner.
If ever a tournament might make him "whole in one" it was fitting that it would be the Masters in Augusta, before a riveted world.
I've carried that burden since August 2014, thinking back to the golden summer when I triumphed in both the British Open and the PGA Championship.
