Northern Irish Golfer Rory McIlroy has said he needs to just focus on winning the Masters instead of the possibility of winning a grand slam to stay focussed. In a one on one interview with the BBC’s golf correspondent Ian Carter, McIlroy said “I have to treat this like it’s the Masters, not as if I’m going for anything special. I mean even winning a Masters is obviously unbelievably special.” “They go hand in hand and I know if I win one, it means the other, and that’s the way it sort of is and that’s my own doing which is a great thing and a great position to be in.” “I know I’m going to have to play some really, really good golf this week to have a chance to do that but that’s what I’ve been working hard for and preparing for.” The 25-year-old has been paired with three-time champion Phil Mickelson on the 9th April for the first day of the Masters in Augusta. This clip is from 5 live Sport on Tuesday 7 April 2015.
