The Master: Rory Mcilroy is proud of the flexibility in Augusta’s “reset” to increase the hopes of Grand Slam | Golf news

Rorre McLeroi praised his main patrol and supporting sports psychologist Bob Rotila after imposing a competition in the Grand Salam Championship in the Master.

Mcilroy arrived at Augusta National from among the candidates to win the first specialty since 2014 and started a dream on the opening day, and played his first 14 holes in four below, only for the two double Bogeys card in an extension of three hole late.

World 2 did not speak to the media after he left him level 72, seven strikes behind the early leader Justin Rose, the seventh year in a row that he had returned to at six or more after the first round, only to return in an amazing way on Friday morning.

Mcilroy started the patient’s start on his second tour when it reached the 35th floor, before launching an eagle and three birds in his six holes following the 66 ghost -free card and heading to the weekend only two strikes behind the midfield commander.

“I think, in general, proud of myself how to respond today after completion last night,” McLeroy said. I just had to remind myself that I played a good golf game yesterday.

“I didn’t leave two bad holes dictating the narration for the rest of the week. But, yes, in the end I am proud of how I return to it.

“Once I left the property, I tried to leave what happened here. I rushed home to see the poppy (daughter) before she went to bed and felt that I did a good job in reset.

“I had a good conversation with Bob Rotila (a sports psychologist) about not pressing very much early, just tried to stay, was bonus with a nice small extension in the middle of the tour.

“I don’t think I have proven anything, if anything I copied to support my belief myself and the belief that I am flexible like anyone else here.”

The Mcilroy tour collapsed on the opening day when he doubled the fifteenth of the fifteenth century, after he ridiculed the slope in the danger of water with his third shot, but he better played the hole with a bird from the second round.

“I felt very frustrated last night because I played well, and you can make these large numbers from anywhere at this golf course, just like the most benign position,” Mcilroy added.

“It was a good reminder last night that you only have to have your intelligence about every snapshot of the golf. Then today, when the second shot was in the air, these touches were slightly.

“Even when the ball finished from the slope, I was thinking about running to distinguish it to ensure that it would not back down to the bottom of the hill. It was good to make four to keep the momentum that I built through these previous holes.”

Mcilroy again on the right track or with work to do it?

Only one of the last 19 masters winners was more than four shots from the first round, although Mcilroy is still searching for Sir Nick Valdo (1990) and Targer Woods (2005) as the only players who return from seven behind the opening day in Ugsta National and win a green jacket.

“They are great things,” Valdo Sky Sports said. “To continue after yesterday and the couple, I felt that he had returned mainly to scratch and started again. This will be to get 10 or 12 years, he has a lot of time; he got three rounds to reach this result.

“It seemed great, all this is how you interact when something happens. Once you start seeing the problem, you should deal with it in the next hole.

“He was here in enough times, knowing sections of dangerous green. Don’t try to be a hero and go down to the number, give yourself half a chance. It seems that he can do that this time.”

Former Rider Cup Captain Paul Mac Jinley, commenting on Sky Sports: “Mcilroy had been destroyed from walking at the golf course yesterday. He played brilliantly and left four or five shots behind him, especially when you see a person like Scoti Shevler set out to this quick start.

“He was re -met last night and prepared himself, but I think he was lucky today. I think a number of things have gone on his way and could be easily four or five worse bullets.

“It was almost outside it yesterday – it was definitely mentally at the end of that tour. He achieved well to return today to a good degree and put himself as he needs to go to the weekend, because this is what he does badly.

“His average registration during the first two rounds was higher than two weekends. Now it is here for the weekend. Can he move forward? This is the question.”
