Rory McIlroy determined not to ‘burden’ himself with numbers after Masters glory
Rory McIlroy, of Northern Ireland, watches his tee shot on the second hole during a practice round for the PGA Championship golf tournament at the Quail Hollow Club, May 13, 2025, in Charlotte, N.C.

RORY McILROY has no plans to “burden” himself with victory targets and is determined to enjoy achieving everything he dreamed of following his memorable Masters triumph.

McIlroy’s nerve-shredding victory at Augusta National made him just the sixth male golfer to complete a career grand slam and gave him a fifth major title, one behind Sir Nick Faldo and two adrift of Europe’s most prolific major winner, Harry Vardon.

And the world number two has every chance of equalling Faldo’s tally in the 107th US PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, a venue where he won his first PGA Tour title in 2010 and has since claimed three more victories, including last year.
