About this episode

The episode discusses Rory McIlroy's swing adjustments that contributed to his performance at the Masters.

Even when he raced out to a six-shot 36-hole lead at the Masters, Rory McIlroy wasn't firing on all cylinders. He worked hard Friday and Saturday nights to address a few issues with his swing and was aided by a helpful mindset: instead of thinking about what *not* to do, he thought about what *else* he needed to do.
