‘Pat Reed Autographed Irons’: Rory McIlroy’s Massive Speculation Ahead of the Masters Brings Out the Witty Side of the Golf World
Follow Us
The Masters is only a few weeks away and the hype for the Major only keeps increasing in the golf world. While the excitement level for the fans may be increasing day by day, the preparation for the first Major of the year must be in full swing for the golfers. One such star is the former world number one Rory McIlroy, who is rumored to be taking a massive step in order to claim his maiden Masters victory.
McIlroy is widely regarded as one of the best golfers of this generation. He has added four Major titles to his name, winning the PGA Championship twice. Though the Northern Irish star may have won the rest of the Majors, he has yet to wear the Green Jacket at Augusta National.
He came close to claiming it last year, but only finished as runner-up to Scottie Scheffler. Nonetheless, Rory looks to win his first Masters title next month. However, to ensure his win, the golfer is rumored to make a big change in his equipment.
