- Northern Irishman wins ‘fifth major’ for second time
- McIlroy: ‘I feel like I’m a better player now than ever’
Masters fever just got louder. The prospect of Augusta National morphing into Rory Land in mid-April has intensified. Rory McIlroy’s second Players Championship victory suggests that maybe, just maybe, he has timed his Masters run perfectly this time. Never before has he landed at the first major of the year with two victories already banked.
McIlroy laid down a marker on the course here on Monday before immediately making a similar statement off it. “I feel like I’m a better player now than I ever have been,” he said.
