Rory McIlroy had the most adorable good luck charm with him as he cinched victory in the Masters. The Irish golf star touched down in Belfast on Friday in his private jet to see his parents, along with the leading lady in his life... his daughter Poppy. Now the golfer has opened up about how the four-year-old had given him the best advice ahead of the tournament. In a sit-down with Gold on CBS, Rory recounted how his daughter sweetly reminded him of his immense talent ahead of the Masters. He said: 'I went last week to see Butch Harmon for a golf lesson, so I'm leaving for the aiport last Wednesday morning and Poppy said to me "Dada where are you going?" 'And I said, "I'm going to go for a golf lesson and I'll be back in a couple of days, and she goes, "But Dada, you already know how to play golf." View this post on Instagram 'And I was like, that's probably the best piece of advice I've gotten in the past three years.' Rory was so taken with Poppy's words that he had them engraved on the ball marker that he used when he won the Masters. Poppy's words were written in bright yellow font with her name and a love heart in pink. By all accounts, Poppy also already knows how to play golf. She stunned golf fans around the world during family day at the Masters by sinking an incredible putt with just the slightest tap of the club, much to the delight of her dad and Shane Lowry.
