There are many predictions before the start of the Masters, and the well-known name of the golf scene, Sir Nick Faldo, gave predictions regarding this year's Masters, believing that Rory McIlroy can make a big step.
In an interview with the media, Nick Faldo put special emphasis on the preparations of McIlroy, but also on the qualities that he has always possessed.
Although most feel that the mental aspect of the game will be key this year as well, Faldo expects the Northern Irishman to celebrate in this tournament with the right approach.
He has had ideal preparation, Faldo said, as quoted by Belfast Telegraph.
Physically and technically he is really good. It is all down to the mental strength, dealing with the past. Whats your approach this year?

He knows what his goal is. We can do everything from happy-go-lucky to I am on a mission and put my blinkers on. So that is for him to decide."
Mentality
The 35-year-old golfer has faced obstacles year after year, and it seems that it all comes down to mentality.
Rory McIlroy will have to enter this tournament with a different mindset this year, as only such an approach can ensure his success in this tournament.
Faldo stresses that Rory needs to convince himself how good he is, and if he succeeds in that, success is certain to come his way.
I would be saying to myself, I am the best player in the world when I am on. I am the best.
You have to be completely focused on everything. You know if you can do that, you are already beating 95 per cent of the field there. I know I went to majors and thought, If I can beat him, him and him. and if you can get it down to one (even better)."- Rory McIlroy concluded.
