Rory McIlroy Still Believes in Masters Victory Despite Tough Second Round

Rory McIlroy is facing an uphill battle at The Masters, but he remains optimistic about his chances of completing the Grand Slam. Despite a tough second round that left him 10 shots off the lead, McIlroy is not giving up hope.

The world No 2 struggled with his swing and failed to make a single birdie in his five-over 77 on Friday. With the windy conditions at Augusta National making scoring difficult for the entire field, McIlroy found himself slipping down the leaderboard.

However, McIlroy is not ready to throw in the towel just yet. He believes that he can still turn things around and shoot a low score to get back into contention. Drawing on his past experiences, including a comeback win in Dubai earlier this year, McIlroy is determined to fight until the end.

Despite the challenges he faced on the course, McIlroy remained focused and committed to each shot. He acknowledged the mental grind of playing in tough conditions and emphasized the importance of staying patient and making the right decisions.

Defending champion Jon Rahm also struggled with his swing during the second round but managed to make the cut. Rahm echoed McIlroy’s sentiments about the difficulty of the course and the challenging conditions they faced.

As The Masters continues, McIlroy and Rahm will be looking to improve their performances and make a push up the leaderboard. With the unpredictable nature of golf, anything can happen, and both players are determined to give it their all until the very end.
