With the Masters now under a week away, golf fans are eagerly counting down the days. The storylines are already unravelling ahead of the four-day event, with Rory McIlroy heading to Augusta in flying form as he looks to break his duck at the course.

Rory McIlroy recorded a top-5 finish at the Houston Open but dropped a bombshell revelation that may have an impact at Augusta National.

Rory McIlroy is officially on to the Masters. McIlroy polished off his debut in the Texas Children’s Houston Open with a 6-under 64 on Sunday at Memorial Park, his last round before his first round at Augusta National in 11 days. Though he missed a 4-footer for par at the last, McIlroy still carded six birdies and an eagle.
