Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ka mutu te Masters mō Rory McIlroy, ā, me te tūmanako kia riro i a ia tana poka whakataetae whakamutunga i mua i te whakataetae nui tuatahi o te tau i roto i ngā wiki e rua, he tohu o ngā mea kei te haere mai. I te whāinga tika me tana pupuhi tuarua i te poka 18 mōrearea i Bay Hill i te Ratapu, i tino pai te whakatau a te tangata tuatahi o te ao. Ko te huarahi rino e waru i mutu i te 6ft noa mai i te poka, a, i whiua e ia te manu manu mo te 70 mo te mutunga 11 i tana putanga tuatahi ki te Arnold Palmer Invitational, i oti ai i a American Matt Every te tiaki angitu i te taitara. I te mea i eke a McIlroy ki te taha o te arahi i te Paraire me te rere o nga manu e rima i te rarangi i tana rauna tuarua 66, kaore i te tohu i te tihi o ana wawata mo te mutunga wiki. I kaha a Rory McIlroy ki te whakaoti engari i noho ia ki te tūranga 11 i te Arnold Palmer Invitational.

'Kei te whakaaro ahau kua whiwhi au i taku i hiahia ai i te wiki, kua kite au i etahi ahunga whakamua mo nga mea e mahi ana ahau i waenga i tenei wa me Augusta,' i kii ia. Na, ka haere ahau ki te mahi anō i a rātou, ā, ko te tūmanako kei te rite ahau mō te Tohu Kaituku. Ka oti taua mahi i te Karapu o Bear e tata ana ki tona kainga i te tonga o Florida, kei reira nga karaka ka tata atu ki te tere o Augusta i era i Bay Hill i tera wiki, kaore ia i tino ahua pai. Mo te Masters, ka mea a McIlroy: 'Kei te harikoa ahau ki a ia inaianei kua tata, me te tupono ki te wikitoria i te tuatoru o nga mea nui i te rarangi me te noho hei kaitakaro tuaono ki te whakaoti i te mahi nui. He tūranga pai tēnei ki te noho, ā, ka awhi au i a ia.' I tīmata a McIlroy e whitu nga pupuhi mai i te arahi, ā, i whakawehi poto ki te whakakotahi i te momo whakapae whakamutunga i kite ia i a ia e hanga ana i taua...
