AUGUSTA, Georgia : Rory McIlroy will make his 10th attempt at completing a career Grand Slam this week at the Masters where the Northern Irishman promises to take a more patient approach on a course where an aggressive strategy has cost him dearly.

"This golf course gets you to chase things a little more than other golf courses, if you make a bogey or if you get yourself out of position, because it always tempts you to do something you think you can do. McIlroy has a game tailor-made for Augusta National given his long drives and right-to-left tee shots that allow him to take advantage of the par-fives and he has been in contention many times but seems to be hampered by one poor round each week.

"Thankfully, I've improved a bit since my first start here, and I feel like I've got all the tools to do well this week," said McIlroy, who played two practice rounds at Augusta National early last week. Among those who fully believe McIlroy will one day join the exclusive club of Grand Slam winners is five-times Masters champion Woods.
