McIlroy Vows to Improve for Masters Victory

Rory McIlroy acknowledges that he must elevate his game to successfully defend his Masters title, following a disappointing third round that saw him relinquish a six-shot lead. Despite struggling with accuracy and posting a one-over par 73, McIlroy remains optimistic about his chances, citing his experience and the opportunity to play in the final group as key factors. He expressed his determination to bounce back from a lackluster performance, which included finding only 10 of the 18 greens in regulation and making three bogeys, including a double bogey at the 11th hole. McIlroy's resilience and ability to put past disappointments behind him are expected to serve him well in the final round, as he seeks to repeat his triumph from last year and complete a career Grand Slam.
