Rory McIlroy believes acceptance of the heartbreak" that has accompanied his occasionally painful quest for Masters glory could be the key to finally laying his hands on a Green Jacket. McIlroy's latest bid to complete a career grand slam of majors here begins on Thursday.

McIlroy needs no reminding that almost 11 years have passed since he won the last of his four major titles and on Tuesday he revealed an attitude switch he decided upon at the end of 2019. Since then, he has posted 11 top-10 finishes in majors.
