The only difference might be slightly fewer evening shadows due to a couple of trees being removed; otherwise, it\u2019s almost unchanged.\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-document-id=\"cms\/api\/amp\/image\/AA1BNOaW\" data-reference=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net\/tenant\/amp\/entityid\/AA1BNOaW.jpg\"\/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-document-id=\"cms\/api\/amp\/image\/AA1BNQQ4\" data-reference=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net\/tenant\/amp\/entityid\/AA1BNQQ4.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n McIlroy clinched victory at the Players Championship this month, even as the golfer from Northern Ireland continues his quest for a first major tournament triumph in more than ten years.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n The journey to Georgia isn\u2019t too distant from where he lives in Florida, and any reconnaissance makes his path toward breaking his streak of having no degree seem worthwhile.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n I take those visits to get back acquainted with the location, clubhouses from the teeing areas, checking if they modified any greens,&#8221; McIlroy went on. &#8220;It\u2019s pleasant to go through a practice round sans spectators. This eases the tension at the beginning of the week.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n After the initial phase of the Houston Open, McIlroy stands at even par, trailing the joint leaders by five strokes.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n The Masters tournament will take place from April 10 to April 13.<br \/>\n Scottie Scheffler, ranked number one in the world, will aim to retain his championship.\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>READ MORE: Grace Charis speaks out about her golf rivalry with Paige Spiranac Rory McIlroy took a visit to Augusta National Golf Club several weeks prior to this year&#8217;s event.
