AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Rory McIlroy’s bid to complete a career Grand Slam will have to wait yet another year after the world’s second-ranked golfer failed to make a leap up the leaderboard on Saturday at the Masters.
McIlroy shot 71, which was solid, but not nearly enough to climb into contention ahead of the final round.
“All I can do is come here and try my best,” McIlroy said with a shrug of his shoulders. “That’s what I do every time I show up. Some years it’s better than others. I’ve just got to keep showing up and try to do the right thing.”
The right thing has been elusive at Augusta National for the 34-year-old McIlroy, particularly this week.
