Here is the text summarized:
Rory McIlroy's 2011 Masters nightmare was a defining moment in his career. He led with nine holes to go but unraveled, ultimately finishing fourth. Despite this setback, McIlroy went on to win four majors within eight months, including two U.S. Opens and two PGA Championships.
The historic victory at the US Open just two months after his Masters nightmare kickstarted a golden era for McIlroy, cementing his status as one of golf's top players. However, he remains one major title away from completing golf's career grand slam, having finished runner-up to Scottie Scheffler at Augusta National last year.
At 33 years old, McIlroy is still on the cusp of achieving this goal and has shown promising form in recent years. Time will tell if he can overcome his struggles with pressure and mental toughness to claim the elusive green jacket.
