As every year, before the start of the Masters, the same questions arise: Can Rory McIlroy handle the pressure? Namely, the Northern Irish golfer has been searching for the last Major for years, as he wants to complete his career Grand Slam. In an age when every individual is active on social media, freely sharing his opinion and reacting critically, McIlroy has to find the strength to deal with it.
An experienced golfer has often, under the influence of strong pressure, created enormous problems for himself. However, can we expect something completely different from him this year?
His good friend, Shane Lowry, will also perform at this year's Masters, and even before the start of the tournament, the Irish golfer made predictions about McIlroy. Shane stresses that there is huge pressure on McIlroy, but there is no doubt that this great golfer will know how to deal with it.

"He's won everything there is to win at golf and I wouldn't be surprised if he was able to give it a run this week."
