In a sense, his six-shot lead makes that more difficult. When Dr. Bob Rotella wrote for Golf Digest about McIlroy’s breakthrough win last year, he referenced how the golfer really won the Masters on Friday, when he rallied from a sluggish start. “He got more decisive, more determined to bounce back and come back stronger,” Rotella wrote. The big question this time if the golfer can summon the same determination playing from so far in front.
