The Masters was the first time McIlroy had ever led a Major tournament going into the final round, and he will learn from this and he will return all the stronger.
Overall it was a brilliant Masters: lots of sunshine and tonnes of excitement down the stretch. Charl Schwartzel’s final round was virtually faultless and closing with four birdies was staggering. The weather at home has also turned delightfully summery right on cue, there is a great diversity of new golf equipment tempting golfers this season, so I dare to wonder whether 2011 might unearth the finest April at golf retail since when, 2007?
I hope I am not tempting fate, as like McIlroy, the trade deserves a break.
