 A victory at Augusta next month would make McIlroy just the sixth
player to complete the modern career Grand Slam of winning all four
majors.
The 25-year-old Northern Irishman has expressed concern recently at
his inability to easily hit a draw, the right-to-left shot that is
so important at Augusta.
“I got quite a lot out of this week,” McIlroy told NBC after
shooting a 70 to finish at 11-under-par 277 at Bay Hill on Sunday.
“It wasn’t quite the way I wanted to finish but it gives me what I
need the next couple of weeks preparing for Augusta. I definitely
feel like I’ve taken some strides in the right direction.”
The world number one will skip the next two tournaments to work on
his game on the practice range.
“There’s still a few things in my game I need to tidy up and work on
but what I was working on last week, I feel like I’ve made progress
in that and I’ve got a couple of weeks to work on some more stuff
and hopefully be ready for the start of April,” he said.
The Masters begins on April 9.
