Former US Open champion Curtis Strange has warned Rory McIlroy he faces more rivals than ever as he bids to win the Masters and complete the career grand slam.<\/p>\n
McIlroy is joint favourite for the year’s first major championship at Augusta National with defending champion Scottie Scheffler and world number three Jon Rahm.<\/p>\n
The Northern Irishman finished runner-up to Scheffler 12 months ago thanks to a stunning final round of 64 which included an eagle and six birdies, the last coming from a greenside bunker on the 18th.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n What a way to finish. McIlroy holes out on No. 18 to put pressure on the leader. #themasters<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/L5fWWbR9cj<\/a><\/p>\n — The Masters (@TheMasters) April 10, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
