A kua whakakitea mai e te kaitākaro tuatahi o te ao, ko tana hinganga i te rauna whakamutunga i Augusta National i te tau 2011 te rā tino hira o tana mahi. Kei te rapu a McIlroy kia riro i a ia tana koti matomato tuatahi, kia riro hoki hei kaitākaro tuaono ki te wikitōria i ngā taitara nui e whā katoa i muri i a Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus me Tiger Woods. Ka tīmata a Rory McIlroy i te whakataetae kōaro Arnold Palmer Invitational i Orlando i te 19 o Maehe.

He mea motuhake ka taea e au te whakatutuki mā te haere ki Augusta i tēnei tau.

Kāore i maha ngā tāngata i mahi i te reira i roto i te hītori na ki te hoatu toku ingoa i reira e kia nui. He mea whakamiharo.

Mēnā ka titiro whakamuri ahau i taku mahi hei 60 tau te pakeke, ā, kāore au i toa i te koti matomato, ka tino pouri ahau. 'A ehara i te mea kotahi noa iho.
