The non-golf fanatic’s complete guide to the 2017 Masters – FOXSports.com

Is it possible for a guy chasing a career Grand Slam to be somewhat flying under the radar? That seems to be the feeling with the No. 2 player in the world, and it probably shouldn’t be considering how he has played since returning from a rib injury (he finished second in the event he injured it in, mind you).

Rory finished T-7 at the WGC-Mexico Championship, his first event of the 2017 PGA Tour season, and followed it up with T-4 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He didn’t make the Sweet 16 at the match play, but he wasn’t really given much of a chance after Gary Woodland had to withdraw for family reasons, leaving Rory without a chance to advance in his Friday match with Emiliano Grillo.

Rory is almost always the storyline here but Dustin and Spieth are overshadowing him a bit, which has to be nice for McIlroy. A win and Rory will join Bobby Jones, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Ben Hogan, Gary Player and Gene Sarazen in the Grand Slam club, which is some pretty elite company in this sport.
