Here is a summary of the article about Rory McIlroy:
Rory McIlroy's collapse at the 2011 Masters has become one of the defining moments in his career. Trailing by just two strokes with nine holes to go, McIlroy "unraveled" and finished third, a stunning reversal that left many wondering if he would ever live down it.
Despite seven top-10 finishes in his past 10 Masters outings, the trophy remains the only thing separating McIlroy from joining the ranks of golf immortals who have completed golf's career grand slam of all four majors. His best finish at Augusta was runner-up to Scottie Scheffler last year, but arguably 2011 remains the closest he has ever been to victory.
McIlroy has said that his collapse in 2011 was a defining moment for him and helped him grow as a player. He went on to win three majors (US Open, PGA Championship, and Open Championship) in 2014, becoming only the third golfer since 1934 to achieve this feat at age 25.
Time is still on McIlroy's side, but he has experienced a major drought since his 2014 success. In 2022, he finished fourth at the Masters, his best finish in the event that year.
McIlroy will attempt to break his curse at Augusta National once again this week, but even if he doesn't win The Masters, he can take comfort in knowing that his game is still among the best in the world.

. I mean, seven top-10 finishes in 10 Masters outings? That's some impressive form right there! I think it's time for him to just step aside and let someone else have a chance to make history. His game may be great, but consistency is key and he hasn't shown that lately 
. And yeah, finishing fourth at the Masters last year was still pretty solid, but not exactly the dominant performance you'd expect from someone on his level 
he's been so close to winning the masters but just can't seem to get it done 
2011 was like a wake-up call for him and now he's back trying to break that curse again 
it's crazy how far he's come since then, from being a young hotshot to one of the best players in the world 
and yeah time is still on his side but you never know what can happen next 
He's been close so many times and it's crazy how one mistake can leave you wondering about your career 
I've seen videos of him practicing and training, he's so dedicated to his game 
Maybe this year will be the break he needs?
I'm so curious about Rory McIlroy's next move! 
and he still has that incredible record of winning three majors in 2014 
. But, at the same time, you gotta feel for him since that collapse in 2011 was just wild 
. What if he just needs one more shot to get that trophy? 
. Seven top-10 finishes in ten years isn't exactly a track record of success, you know? And don't even get me started on this "curveball" business... it sounds like just that - a ball curve, not his entire career trajectory 
. He's still got the skills, he's still got the talent, but he needs a bit of luck and the right circumstances to succeed. And just like how McIlroy's drought is starting to feel like it could be forever, our politicians seem stuck in a cycle of indecision and gridlock 
. But hey, maybe this Masters will be the turning point for both Rory and our lawmakers! 
. I've been following him for years and I'm still hoping he'll get that Masters title 
. It's not just about winning, though - it's about how he handles setbacks and keeps pushing himself to be the best player in the world 
. Like, Rory McIlroy's collapse at the Masters back in 2011 is super frustrating because he was literally just two strokes behind and then... game over 
He's still got it, and I think he's gonna make a deep run at this year's Masters. That 2011 collapse was defo a low point, but it seems like he's used it as fuel to get back to where he needs to be. And three majors in 2014? Mind-blowing! 
Still can't believe that young man achieved that feat so quickly. He's definitely one of the best golfers out there right now, and I'm all about giving him a chance to break his curse at Augusta National again this week! 
. but at the same time, i think it's actually helped him grow as player. he went on to win three majors in 2014 and all that. so yeah, it's like this thing that he can't live down, but also can't ignore 
. and now he's trying again at augusta national... will be interesting to see how this plays out
