Then the topic of conversation turned to Rory McIlroy. Voices turned desperate. Crenshaw sounded like a cleric, imploring everyone to keep the faith.

So everyone nodded when Crenshaw said nobody in the world is playing better golf than McIlroy. This is the year, he said. This has to be the year. Crenshaw predicted McIlroy would win his first Masters this week.
