Rory McIlroy joined the post-tournament press conference at Augusta National after the Masters Tournament. In the press conference, the golfer was asked to shed light on the fact that he finally completed his Career Grand Slam in the 89th Masters Tournament.“It's a dream come true. I have dreamt about that moment for as long as I can remember. I mentioned it out in the prize ceremony, but watching Tiger here in 1997 do what he did, and then winning his first green jacket, I think that inspired so many of my generation to want to emulate what he did. You know, there were points in my career where I didn't know if I would have this nice garment over my shoulders, but I didn't make it easy today,” he replied.“I certainly didn't make it easy. I was nervous. It was one of the toughest days I've ever had on the golf course. In a funny way, I feel like the double bogey at the first sort of settled my nerves. And it's funny, walking to the second tee, the first thing that popped into my head was Jon Rahm a couple years ago making double and going on to win. So at least my mind was in the right place, and was at least thinking positively about it,” he added.Rory McIlroy added that the final round of the Masters Tournament was a roller coaster day and that it was tricky at many points. He also shared how he bounced back from the doubles and got back on the right track in the game.
