Concentration lapses hamper Rory McIlroy at The Masters

Jack Nicklaus believes Rory McIlroy's concentration lapses are the main reason why the Northern Irishman hasn't won The Masters .

“You have to concentrate 100 per cent of the time. For some reason, Rory always has a little bit of a lapse somewhere around the tournament. He’ll find a double bogey or triple bogey that sneaks in there.During the earlier press conference Nicklaus said he believed McIlroy would win the Masters at some point, but pointed out that Watson and Arnold Palmer both missed out on a career grand slam after failing to win the US PGA.“Was Arnold Palmer good enough to win the Grand Slam? Absolutely.

McIlroy made a slow start to his 10th bid to complete the grand slam, covering his first six holes in one over par while playing partner and pre-tournament favourite Scottie Scheffler picked up two birdies on the same stretch.
