When Rory McIlroy chatted to the great Jack Nicklaus for advice about defending the best way to defend his Masters title, he was given a succinct piece of advice.
“He told me ‘no double bogeys’,” laughed McIlroy.
An obvious tip maybe, but it is easier said than done at Augusta National. Just ask the 36-year-old from Northern Ireland, who has opened up a record six-shot lead at the halfway stage thanks to a stunning finish to Friday’s second round.
