Rory McIlroy would have choked this Masters away if he hadn't won last year
I actually think that if he didn't win last year, this one, he would've probably choked away because he kind of had that huge lead. He had a six-stroke lead going into the weekend. He did not play great on Saturday. Everyone kind of caught up to him. He didn't make any huge, huge mistakes on the back nine because he felt confident.

If you look at the shot quality, if you look at the expected wins, they've won two of the games.
