Tiger Woods reiterated his belief that Rory McIlroy will definitely win the Masters during his career to complete the grand slam as McIlroy kept his own media duties to a minimum.
McIlroy was the last player to register at Augusta National around 30 minutes before his scheduled press conference, which started early and saw the world number two answer just seven questions.
One of those was in response to Woods having earlier insisted it was just a 바카라matter of time바카라 before McIlroy earns a green jacket to join Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Woods himself in having won all four major titles.
바카라It바카라s flattering,바카라 McIlroy said. 바카라It바카라s nice to hear, in my opinion, the best player ever to play the game say something like that.
바카라Does that mean that it바카라s going to happen? Obviously not. But he바카라s been around the game long enough to know that I at least have the potential to do it.
바카라I know I바카라ve got the potential to do it too. It바카라s not as if I haven바카라t been a pretty good player for the last couple of decades. But, yeah, it바카라s nice to hear it when it comes out of his mouth.바카라
Since winning the Open Championship in 2014, McIlroy has had nine attempts to win the Masters, his best finish of second in 2022 coming thanks to a stunning closing 64.
And despite missing the cut last year, McIlroy feels he has what it takes to claim a fifth major title at Augusta National and a first since the 2014 US PGA.
McIlroy, who famously held a four-shot lead after 54 holes in 2011 only to collapse to a closing 80, said: 바카라I feel like I바카라ve got all the tools to do well this week.
바카라But to bring those tools out, I think one of the most important things is to enjoy it and smell the, I guess not the roses, the azaleas along the way.
바카라This is my 16th start in the Masters, so I feel like I바카라ve done it quite a few different ways, and I guess am just trying to bring a little bit of normalcy into what I sort of try to do week in, week out.
바카라I play 25 weeks a year, and there바카라s no point in doing anything different this week compared to other weeks, I guess.
바카라I wanted to play quite a bit leading up to this just to feel like my game was sharp or, if it wasn바카라t sharp, to try to get it in the best shape possible. I feel like I made a couple of good strides in that direction last week in Texas.
바카라I usually try to get into tournaments either Monday nights or Tuesday mornings, and that바카라s sort of what I바카라ve done this week.
바카라I came up here last week to play two practice rounds at the start of the week so I feel like I바카라ve already got most of my prep work done. So it바카라s just about going out there and being relaxed and being in the right frame of mind.
바카라Not trying to win it from the first tee shot is something that I바카라ve tried to learn. It바카라s a 72-hole golf tournament. I바카라ve won from 10 strokes back going into the weekend.
바카라This golf course gets you to chase things a little more than other golf courses, if you make a bogey or if you get yourself out of position, because it always tempts you to do something you think you can do.
바카라And I바카라m pretty confident in my golf game. I think I can do most things, but sometimes you just have to take the conservative route and be a little more disciplined and patient.바카라
