Rory McIlroy 'Will Complete Career Grand Slam' According to Darren Clarke
The world No 1 will arrive in Georgia in early April hoping to claim victory in the only major to elude him so far.
He will also tee-up at the Masters keen to make it three major triumphs in a row – following his successes last summer in the Open and PGA Championship.
Just five golfers have won each of the big four titles – Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Tiger Woods – and, according to Clarke, McIlroy will join this illustrious group at some stage during his career.
Since winning the PGA title last August, McIlroy’s sole victory came in Dubai.“Rory’s the sort of player who can win anywhere, any time.
“He started this year well in the desert, and then went to the States where he hasn’t quite found his full game yet.
“But it’s only a matter of time before he wins at Augusta – whether it’s this year, next year, whenever. His game is ideally suited to playing a high, long draw which you need at Augusta.”
