Here is the final answer to the problem:

**The Final Answer**

To achieve a golf career grand slam of all four majors in the modern era (US Open, British Open, PGA Championship, and Masters), Rory McIlroy has yet to win the Masters. Despite having seven top-10 finishes at Augusta National, including a runner-up finish last year, he remains one shot behind his closest rival Scottie Scheffler.

**Conclusion**

McIlroy's 2011 Masters defeat serves as a reminder that even with experience and skill, golf can be unpredictable at its most iconic venue. As McIlroy prepares for his 15th appearance at Augusta National this week, all eyes will be on the young Northern Irishman to finally claim his first major title and complete the career grand slam.

**Key Takeaways**

* Rory McIlroy has yet to win a Masters title despite having seven top-10 finishes.
* A runner-up finish last year marked McIlroy's best finish at Augusta National since 2011.
* Time is still on McIlroy's side, but he faces stiff competition from rivals like Scottie Scheffler.
* The 2022 Masters extended McIlroy's major drought to eight years, but his performance in the tournament featured some of his best golf since 2014.
 
OMG, I feel for Rory McIlroy 🤗! He's been so close to that green jacket for ages and it's gotta be super frustrating not being able to put it all together yet 😩. But y'know what? He's still got this 🔥! 15 attempts at Augusta and he's proven himself to be one of the best, so I'm rooting for him to finally break through 💪. And let's be real, Scottie Scheffler is no slouch either 🤯... it's gonna be a tough one to beat him! Fingers crossed Rory can bring home that Masters title and complete his career grand slam 🎉💥
 
I'm so invested in Rory's career right now 🤯🏌️‍♂️ I mean, seven top-10 finishes at Augusta and still no Masters win? That's crazy! He's been close before, but that 2011 loss must be eating away at him 🤕. The pressure's on this week - can he finally break through and complete the career grand slam? Scottie Scheffler's on his tail, too 😅. I love how Rory's still playing well, even if it's not showing up in major wins... yet! Fingers crossed for him this week 🤞💪
 
🏌️‍♂️ i think mclroy is due for a win at augusta national, he's been close before and it's time for him to finally get that one 🤞 the thing that frustrates me is how much pressure comes with being the best, you know? like, he's expected to perform every single week, and even if he doesn't, people still expect him to. but at the same time, i think the expectation is what drives him to be better. anyway, can u imagine what it would be like for mclroy to finally hold up that green jacket 🎀
 
golf is so boring lol i mean what's the point of hitting a little ball around all day?? 🤣 my friend just got back from hawaii and he brought me back this awesome pineapple-shaped keychain 🍍 it's literally the most random thing i've ever seen but now i have to have it 🤪 anyway back to golf... i guess if rory mcilroy can finally win that last major, he'll be able to say he's done all four and stuff 🏆
 
omg I'm so hyped for Rory Mcilroy this week at Augusta National!!! 🤩 he's been so close with those top-10 finishes, and last year was crazy close - runner-up is still a win in my book! 😅 Scheffler is a tough opponent tho... but I think Rory's experience will pay off. maybe this is his year?! 🎉 8 years without a masters title? that's a looong drought! Mcilroy's gotta break through, and I'm all about it 💪🏽
 
🤔 so Rory's still chasing that one last major win 🏆 and it's crazy how close he is to Scottie Scheffler who's basically sitting on his laurels 😅 i mean don't get me wrong the dude's got talent but can he keep up with McIlroy's game? 🤞 also gotta wonder what's gonna happen at 15 try's for McIlroy, does experience help or is it just a case of running out of steam 💨
 
I'm so hyped for Rory McIlroy to finally win that Masters trophy! I mean, seven top-10 finishes at Augusta National is no joke, right? 🤔 He's been close before, but it's like, he's got the skills, you know? It's just one of those things where luck or something isn't on his side. I think he'll get 'em this time, though! 💪 Scottie Scheffler is definitely a tough competitor, but McIlroy's experience will serve him well. Let's see if he can make history and complete that career grand slam! ⛳
 
😂 I just saw this thread and had to chime in... I think Rory McIlroy is due for a breakthrough at Augusta! He's been so close before and it's crazy how much pressure he's under now that he's almost at the end of his career. Does anyone else think he'll finally break through next week? 🤔 I'd love to see him win that Masters title 🎉
