Rory McIlroy entspannt als Masters-Titelverteidiger

Masters-Titelverteidiger Rory McIlroy sagt, dass er sich in diesem Jahr im Augusta National entspannter fühlt. Der nordirische Golfer, der den Titel 2025 gewann, sprach am Dienstag in einer Pressekonferenz über die Vorzüge seines grünen Jacketts. Er strebt an, ohne den großen Druck erneut um einen möglichen zweiten Sieg mitzuspielen.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Rory McIlroy stellte sich am Dienstagnachmittag im Pressegebäude des Augusta National den Journalisten und trug dabei sein grünes Jackett von seinem Sieg im letzten Jahr. Neben John Carr sitzend, dem Sohn der irischen Golflegende Joe Carr, beschrieb McIlroy das Gefühl als 'absolut unglaublich'. 'Ich kann nicht glauben, dass es schon 12 Monate her ist, seit ich hier saß und versuchte, das alles zu verarbeiten', sagte er. 'Hierher zurückzukehren und diese Pressekonferenz in einem grünen Jackett abhalten zu können, fühlt sich ziemlich gut an.'
