The haunting Masters meltdown that changed Rory McIlroy’s career | CNN

Roy McIlroy has been struggling to win the Masters in his career despite having seven top-10 finishes in his past 10 appearances. He is one of only a few golfers who have completed all four majors and are often referred to as "immortals" in the sport.

McIlroy's best finish at Augusta was runner-up, which he achieved last year behind Scottie Scheffler. However, his 2011 performance remains one of the closest he has ever been to winning the Masters.

The 33-year-old McIlroy still believes that winning the Masters is "unthinkable" and is determined to add it to his collection of major championships. He recently won the US Open by an eight-shot margin at Congressional, which was a record-breaking performance.

McIlroy's determination to win the Masters has been evident in recent years, and he is expected to be one of the top contenders for the title this year. Despite his struggles at Augusta, McIlroy remains one of the most talented golfers in the world and is capable of achieving greatness on the course.

Here are some key statistics about Roy McIlroy's performance at the Masters:

* 7 Top-10 finishes in 10 appearances
* Runner-up finish last year behind Scottie Scheffler
* Closest he has ever been to winning the Masters (2011)
* Still seeking his first Masters victory
* Won the US Open by an eight-shot margin at Congressional in June

Overall, McIlroy's performance at the Masters is a testament to his skill and determination as a golfer. Despite struggling to win the title, he remains one of the top contenders for the championship each year.
 
I'm rooting for Rory McIlroy this season 🤞! He's been so close to winning the Masters multiple times already, it's crazy to think about how far he still has to go 🙄. But honestly, his last win at the US Open was insane – 8 shots ahead of everyone else! 😲 That shows us just how talented he is.

I love that he still believes in himself and says winning the Masters is "unthinkable" 😂. Like, wouldn't it be amazing if he actually made it happen? 🤩 I think he's got a great shot (no pun intended) at taking home that green jacket this year 💚. Fingers crossed for him! 👍
 
I don’t usually comment but I feel like McIlroy has been really close to winning that Masters thing in 2011... like, what's going on? 🤔 He had a solid game and was like just a whisker away from taking it home. You'd think with all his experience now he'd have the confidence to take it down. Still, I got faith in him! 😊 He seems determined as ever and that US Open win was insane! 8 shots ahead of the rest is wild.
 
I think it's crazy that people are saying he'll never win the Masters 🤯. Like, what does that even mean? He's got a ton of experience and has been so close before! And yeah, winning the US Open was insane 💥... but let's not forget about his game at the Masters. I've seen him crush it there too, just not quite get over that finish line 🏆. The thing is, McIlroy's still got this fire in his belly and he's not giving up! He'll figure out a way to get that W no matter what 💪.
 
I'm low-key impressed with Rory McIlroy's consistency at the Masters 🤔. I mean, seven top-10 finishes in 10 appearances is no joke! He's like a steady stream, always showing up strong 🔙. And don't count him out just because he hasn't won it yet - eight-shot win at the US Open was crazy cool 😎. He's got the skill, patience, and dedication to get that first Masters title under his belt. Plus, he's only 33, so he's still young for golf years 🕰️. I'm rooting for him to finally break through this year! 👍
 
The pressure's on for Rory McIlroy at Augusta 🏆💪 He's got this far without winning the Masters, but it's clear he's still hungry for that elusive green jacket. His US Open win was insane 🤯 and shows what he's capable of when he gets his game together. But can he finally break through at the Masters? It's been close before, and we all know how frustrating that must be for him 😩. One thing's for sure, though - McIlroy's still got what it takes to compete with the best of them. His stats are pretty impressive, but at the end of the day, it's about execution on the course 💥. Let's see if he can finally put all the pieces together and make that Masters win a reality 🤞
