**The Master's Nightmare**
Rory McIlroy's collapse at the 2011 Masters will forever be remembered as one of golf's greatest meltdowns. Leading by nine holes with only five to play, McIlroy unraveled, shooting a disastrous final-round 80 to finish a disappointing third place.
"I was leading this golf tournament with nine holes to go, and I just unraveled," McIlroy said in an interview after the event. "It's a Sunday at a major, what it can do."
**The Learning Curve**
McIlroy credited his collapse for teaching him a valuable lesson about maintaining focus under pressure. "If I had not had the whole unraveling, if I had just made a couple of bogeys coming down the stretch and lost by one, I would not have learned as much," he said.
**A New Era**
Despite his disappointment at the time, McIlroy's collapse at the 2011 Masters kickstarted an incredible era for him. He went on to win three majors in a row – the US Open, PGA Championship, and Open Championship – becoming only the third golfer since 1934 to achieve this feat.
**The Elusive Green Jacket**
Despite his numerous top-10 finishes at the Masters, McIlroy remains one of golf's biggest outsiders when it comes to winning the green jacket. His closest finish was a runner-up spot in 2022, where he trailed Scottie Scheffler by five shots on Sunday.
At 33 years old, time is still on his side. Though 2022 extended his major drought to eight years, it featured arguably his best golf since that golden season in 2014.
**Will He Ever Win the Masters?**
McIlroy has said that winning the Masters is "unthinkable" if he doesn't do so before he retires. While time is still on his side, McIlroy knows that things can change quickly at Augusta National. Will he ever join the ranks of golf immortals to have completed golf's career grand slam? Only time will tell.
**Rory's Rise to Glory**
McIlroy's 2011 collapse may have been a low point, but it marked the beginning of an incredible rise to glory for the Northern Irish golfer. He went on to become one of the most dominant players in the world, winning numerous tournaments and majors around the globe.
The missing piece from McIlroy's collection is still out there, waiting to be claimed. Will this be the year he finally adds a green jacket to his mantle?
