McIlroy tries to normalise his routine for latest Masters bid

Curtailed press conference just another part of the world No 2′s ever-changing methodology to finally crack the code at AugustaRory McIlroy: all set to launch his latest bid for US Masters glory at Augusta National in Augusta, Georgia.

McIlroy has played more frequently than ever this spring in the build-up to the Masters and the fact he only drove up Magnolia Lane half an hour before the scheduled meeting with the press also provided an indication that his two-day reconnaissance visit last week in advance of playing in the Valero Texas Open had him in a comfort zone that required little intrusion.

“I wanted to play quite a bit leading up to this just to feel like my game was sharp or, if it wasn’t sharp, to try to get it in the best shape possible. I feel like I made a couple of good strides in that direction last week in Texas . . . I came up here last week to play two practice rounds at the start of the week. I feel like I’ve already got most of my prep work done. So, It’s just about going out there and being relaxed and being in the right frame of mind.
