The haunting Masters meltdown that changed Rory McIlroy’s career | CNN

The 2011 Masters collapse by Rory McIlroy is like a reminder that even the closest we get to our goals can leave us with more questions than answers 🤔. He had it all in his hands and still managed to blow it - that's what makes it so intriguing. Was he overconfident? Did he get too caught up in the pressure of leading by nine holes? The truth is, we'll never know for sure.

What I do find fascinating is how McIlroy turned that collapse into a learning experience, and it seems to have worked out pretty well for him 🙏. But still, you can't help but wonder what would've happened if he had just made a few bogeys instead of completely unraveling under pressure.

Time is indeed on his side, but as we know, golf is a cruel mistress - one day it's sunshine, the next it's rain ☔️. Will McIlroy ever join that select group of golf legends who have won all four majors? It's hard to say, but I do think he still has what it takes to make a deep run at Augusta National 🔥.
 
OMG, can you believe Rory McIlroy's story tho 🤯! He was literally leading by 9 holes with only 5 to go and then just fell apart 🌪️! But I guess it all worked out for him in the end because he went on to win so many other majors 🏆. And can we talk about how cool it would be if he finally wins the Masters? 🎉 It's been 8 years since his last major, and I'm starting to think that green jacket might just be the one thing missing from his collection 🤔. Fingers crossed for Rory! 👍
 
OMG u guys 🤯 i was just like thinking about Rory Mcilroy and how crazy it is that he had that epic meltdown at the 2011 masters lol i mean 9 holes ahead and then 80 💀 what a travesty! but like for real though his collapse led to some amazing golf afterwards he's literally won so much 🏆 and all those majors are insane!!! so i guess u could say he turned that disappointment into an incredible career 💪 does anyone think he'll ever get that green jacket tho 🤔
 
I think Rory McIlroy needs to get that green jacket ASAP 🏆👕 He's been so close, but for some reason it just doesn't seem to be meant to be... yet! 🤔 Still, I've got a feeling he'll get it eventually - he's one of the most talented golfers out there. What do you think? Should he keep believing that green jacket is going to be his? 💪
 
idk about rory mcilroy, dude's been close so many times lol! 33 and still chasing that green jacket 🤣 like what's holding him back? is it the pressure or just the fact that scottie scheffler's always one shot ahead of him 😂 anyway, i'm sure he'll get it eventually, maybe next year or in 10 years when we're all old 😴🏌️‍♂️
