RORY McILROY admitted "I'm not 100 percent under control" as he nurses an elbow injury heading into The Masters. The Holywood man will make his latest attempt at ending his decade-long wait for a major when action gets under at Augusta in April. The 35-year-old warmed up with a stirring final round performance at the Houston Children's Open as he finished joint-fifth. While satisfied with his week overall, McIlroy admitted he still has work to do to contend for the green jacket. He said: “I still feel like I've got some stuff to work on, but overall, a solid week and nice to have another week to get ready and fine-tune my game going to Augusta. "I still don't think my game is 100 percent under the control I want. But it's nice to have a week to work on some things.” He has not been aided by the revelation that he has been dealing with a slight elbow issue. He admitted: “My right elbow’s been bothering me a little bit, so maybe just get some treatment on that and make sure that that's okay going into Augusta. “I've got my coach, Michael Bannon, coming in tomorrow. We'll do some work. And, you know, make sure that everything's in good shape for a week's time.” “It's just about feeling as comfortable as I can be with the things I've been working on, which is iron play, wedges, obviously, short game is really, really important around Augusta as well. “So I’ll work on those things over the next few days, and hopefully I'm feeling good going in there,” He got an up close and personal look at the course when flew to Augusta before jetting to Texas for the Houston Children's Open. McIlroy only added the Texas event to his schedule last week as he wanted to play one event before the first major of the year. The 35-year-old has detailed the major changes to the famous course after his scouting trip on Tuesday. The devastating destruction left behind by Hurricane Helene on Augusta National was laid bare by drone footage last year. The home of the Masters was hit by the catastrophic hurricane that swept through the southeastern United States in September 2024. The infamous golf course fell victim to the 130mph gusts, leaving the usually stunning grounds in disarray. Now, McIlroy was one of the first to detail what the revamped greens will look like for golf's best. After a practice round at the Houston Open, he said: "The loss of a few trees is definitely noticeable. "But in terms of like they've had to redo that green, it's exactly the same as it was. "Apart from maybe a few less shadows on the green late in the day because of a couple of trees that were lost, it's pretty much the same."
