Rory McIlroy has continually fallen short at Augusta and has now gone 10 years without winning a Major - but three-time winner of the Green Jacket Nick Faldo believes the Ulsterman is in the prime of his life
Sir Nick Faldo has claimed Rory McIlroy has to “free” himself of negativity and distractions to finally win the Masters.
But Faldo said: "Unfortunately it's just going on, time after time. It's not just this season. There's four or five or six years of scar tissue now, of Rory coming in as favourite and playing great. “He has tried his best at times: ‘Can I re-set, can I literally forget the past, who I am? Look how talented I am and go and play golf again. Start again’.
"He has pulled himself off all the policy boards and this sort of thing. Try and be a golfer again. Thirty-five is a great age to be at. That is nothing. He is fit, strong. He is one of the technically strongest players almost ever in the game of golf. It is finding that trust.”
