REUTERS: World number one Rory McIlroy expects this year's Masters to feel a bit different and says the tournament being pushed back to November due to the COVID-19 pandemic could help him win the coveted green jacket.
The Masters is usually the year's first major but the event had been delayed from its April slot and will now take place after the U.S. Open and PGA Championship, which were rescheduled for August and September.McIlroy, who needs the Masters to complete the career Grand Slam, said the new date would give it a"different feel".
"Two of the majors will have already been played, hopefully the Ryder Cup's already been played. People will be in their routine and in the flow a little bit more," he said in an Instagram Live chat with the US LPGA's Michelle Wie. "I always feel there's this bit of anticipation going into Augusta, the first big event of the year. There's all this hype."It's going to be a different Masters this year but personally, maybe selfishly, that's what I need to get the jacket."
The Northern Irishman won the US Open in 2011, the PGA Championship in 2012 and 2014, and the British Open in 2014 but his best showing at the Masters was fourth in 2015.
