Here is a summary of the article:
Rory McIlroy's 2011 Masters experience still haunts him to this day. Leading by nine strokes with just nine holes to play, McIlroy "unraveled" and crashed and burned in the biggest moment of his life. He has since spoken about how that failure was a valuable learning experience that ultimately helped him win three majors.
Although he's now 33 years old and considered one of the best golfers in the world, McIlroy still lacks an elusive green jacket from Augusta National, which remains the only major title to elude him. He has had a string of good performances at the Masters in recent years, including runner-up finishes in 2022.
However, time is still on his side, and McIlroy's game is better than ever. His performance last year was arguably his best since his dominant season in 2014, which included three major wins. With eight major championships, he only needs one more to complete the career Grand Slam, a feat achieved by only five other golfers.
The article concludes that while McIlroy's 2011 Masters failure still stings, it has driven him to work harder and push himself to achieve greatness. Can he finally capture that elusive green jacket in 2023? Only time will tell.

. He's come so close, like that runner-up finish last year was still pretty impressive. I think what's gonna make or break it for him is just staying focused and avoiding those mental breakdowns like he did back in 11 
. Still, 8 majors and only one to go? That's gotta be a goal for the next few years, right? Can't wait to see how he does at the Masters this year 
.
. It’s crazy how one bad day can haunt you forever. But at the same time, it's awesome that he was able to turn his game around and become one of the best in the world 
. Three majors to go and I gotta believe he'll get it 
. We'll just have to wait and see if 2023 is the year he finally gets that green jacket 
I feel bad for Rory McIlroy, dude was so close to winning the Masters back in 2011 but just totally fell apart 
now if he just won the Masters... would be like finally completing that dream career slam 
his 2011 masters fail was like, a total low point for him but look at him now!! 
he's back and better than ever! his last year's perfomance was straight fire!! 
i mean we all know he's got that green jacket in his sights and im rooting for him so hard!!! 
. i mean, three majors since 2014 is insane, but it just don't feel right when you're still missin out on that green jacket 
. if anyone can do it, it's him tho 
. the dude's been grindin hard and his game's on fire 
. we'll just have to wait and see what 2023 brings 
i feel bad for him cuz he's worked so hard and has had some great results at the masters in recent yrs, but u gotta wonder if that one fail is gonna hold him back from finally getting that green jacket 
! That 2011 Masters experience was super traumatic for him, but like you said, it's actually helped him grow as a golfer 
. He's still got that fire in his belly to win that green jacket at Augusta National 
. I think he's due for some major wins and finally completing the career Grand Slam 
! The pressure might be on this year, but I'm all about Rory coming out on top 
️. he's already proven he can dominate on the course, one more green jacket won't hurt 
... that's amazing! And eight major championships is no joke 
. I think he's definitely due for another win, maybe even a Masters title 
I mean, the dude was literally on top of the world and then just melted like ice cream in the sun 
. it's crazy to think he's still chasing that one green jacket all these years later. i'm hoping he'll finally get it this year tho! his game is looking strong, especially with those runner-up finishes at masters recently 
. And don't even get me started on the whole career Grand Slam thing – eight majors is impressive, but what if he just can't close it out? It's all well and good to say that failure drives you harder, but can it really overcome the weight of all those missed opportunities? 
he's worked so hard for so long and yet still no green jacket 
. It's like he's cursed or something 
I'm loving how he's not giving up though, that mental toughness is key 
And 8 major titles? That's insane! He needs one more to complete the slam, but honestly, it's gonna be tough for him to overcome his past heartache 
Still rooting for him tho, fingers crossed 
I'm low-key rooting for Rory McIlroy to win that green jacket already! I mean, the guy's had some amazing performances at Augusta National, and it's crazy he still doesn't have one under his belt. But honestly, his 2011 Masters meltdown was actually kinda awesome for him? Like, who wouldn't learn from their mistakes right? 
He's come so far since then and still can't seem to get that one major under his belt, though. His game looks stronger than ever now, and I'm curious to see if he'll finally break through this year
