Rory McIlroy will begin this year’s Masters with the same partner that he ended with when he struggled in last year’s event.

McIlroy was paired with Angel Cabrera for the opening two rounds of the event. Cabrera was McIlroy’s partner when he shot an 80 in the final round of last year’s event.

The 80 is the worst round in history by a professional golfer, who had been leading three rounds of the Masters.

McIlroy moves on from Masters meltdown

Via Fox Sports  |  April 03, 2012

The Irishman entered the interview room Tuesday morning at the Masters, knowing he'd be forced to re-live the worst round of his life in forensic detail, and did so with poise, self-deprecating humor, honesty and a maturity and perspective far beyond his 22 years. "It...

Rory aims to be Tiger, but could be Shark

Via Fox Sports  |  April 02, 2012
Rory McIlroy grew up wanting to become the next Tiger Woods. But what the precocious young Irishman does this week at the year's first major, the Masters, will go a long way to revealing whether he's to be the next Tiger, or the next Shark. As in Greg Norman, who, as McIlroy infamously did last April, imploded with the coveted green jacket beckoning and never really recovered...

Column: McIlroy saves himself by going right

Via Fox Sports  |  April 05, 2012
(Eds: With AP Photos.) By TIM DAHLBERG AP Sports Columnist The tee shots in the woods to the right may have been something subconscious, a reflex triggered by a long year of thinking about what might have been had he not hit one tee shot so terribly far left during his last Masters. Rory McIlroy insisted otherwise, and you have to give him his due because so far in his young career...

Why length is such a factor at Augusta

Via Fox Sports  |  April 03, 2012
Conventional wisdom has it that big hitters who also can putt have the best chance to win the Masters. The oddsmakers apparently have bought into that hypothesis, making Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson the favorites for the first major of the year, which starts Thursday at Augusta National. Woods has earned four Green Jackets, Mickelson three, and the 22-year-old McIlroy...

This could be old news to everyone, but that doesn’t make it any less amazing. Apparently they keep it old school at Augusta National — even during the year’s most celebrated golf event.
