Rory McIlroy is a very good golfer. Many people think he is one of the best.

McIlroy has a lot more to do.

He will be 36 next month. He thinks he plays better now than 10 years ago. This seems true.

Rory McIlroy is a famous golfer. He has played golf for 18 years. This year is very good for him. He won three times before May. He never won so many times so early before. He feels very happy and free when he plays. He won a lot of money this year, more than 13 million dollars.

He won the Masters tournament last year.

He now has a special place upstairs with a green jacket for him. He can wear it for the rest of his life.

He won the game and felt very happy. His face showed his happiness when he put on the green jacket.

McIlroy asked, "What will we talk about next year?" He feels free.

How about we meet next month?

He won all four big tennis tournaments. Maybe he can win them all in one year too. The next big tournaments this year are good for him.

The PGA Championship is next month. It is at Quail Hollow. McIlroy won there four times.

Rory McIlroy wanted to play the Tour Championship at Quail Hollow.

The U.S. Open is at Oakmont. This course is good for players who hit the ball a long way. This is good for him. But last time, he played badly because of rain and left before the weekend.

Rory McIlroy is playing golf in Northern Ireland again. He played there before, but he had a bad game. He hopes to play well this time.

He feels happy and not worried when he returns.

This is for later. But it shows how people talk about McIlroy now. Before, they talked about what he needed. Now, they talk about what he can win.

Scheffler talked about Scottie. He said he doesn't know how it feels to be asked about winning all the big golf games. But he knows a little how it feels to be asked, 'You did this, but you didn't do that.' It can be hard for people.

Brad Faxon is McIlroy's friend. He helps McIlroy with putting. Faxon thinks McIlroy can win many big golf games, maybe 10. He said, "He can win 10."

Two famous golfers, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, said young Tiger Woods could win many big games. They won 10 big games together. Tiger Woods won 5.

A man said McIlroy could be a great player like Jack.

Nicklaus is the best in golf with 18 wins.

It is easy to feel happy. This Masters is like good times at Augusta.

But this was hard for McIlroy. He wanted to win the Masters very much. But he did not win a big tournament for 11 years.

Other players had a more difficult time.

He really wanted to win a big golf game again, like a major tournament.

McIlroy is the sixth player to win the four big golf games in his life.

Another player won all four big games in 1935. He won the Augusta tournament.

McIlroy is the only player to win the last game at the Masters. This is special.

He is one of the best golf players ever.

Sam Snead won many golf games. He has 82 wins. Phil Mickelson is a good player too, but he did not win the U.S. Open like Sam Snead.

Tom Watson won many golf games, including eight big ones. Palmer is a very important person in golf today. But, neither of them won the PGA Championship.

McIlroy was not sure if he would be a great player. Now he feels better and can play more.
