All eyes are on Rory McIlroy and his performance at this year's Masters. The 35-year-old golfer has serious ambitions this year, aware that his form can be a guarantee of success.
Many experts, former golfers and analysts gave their opinion regarding McIlory's chances at this year's Masters.
Brandel Chamblee, a well-known name, is delighted with Rory's progress and form since the beginning of the season.
It is harder for him than it is Scottie to hit those cuts, but this year I think because he has gone to a spinner ball, it requires him to get on top of it a bit more to control the spin, Chamblee said, as quoted by The Golfing Gazette.

The spinnier ball is important. He won the Players with a spinnier ball. Im not sure he would have been able to win [before] because he didnt hit it great when he was able to recover and hit these beautiful, bendy shots out of the trees and also because it keeps him on top of it."
Brandel Chamblee is satisfied with Rory McIlroy's form
Chamblee made a comparison between McIlroy and Tiger Woods, believing that the Northern Irish golfer's changes are very similar to those of Tiger Woods. The popular golfer stresses that both of them have made modifications in their game, which could obviously bring them many benefits. Chamblee feels that this form gives Rory a huge chance to celebrate.
In an era where everybody is going to balls that spin less and clubs with a high MOI that spin less. Tiger played the spinniest ball of anybody on tour. So Tiger was sacrificing distance for control and I think Rory has made a change this year to sacrifice for control.

His distance is amazing, he has distance to play with, as did Tiger. I think that is important and it betokens good form this week because he has never won here before. From a winning perspective he has never come into The Masters in better form and the data is there, it says its his best chance ever to win the Masters, I would argue.
