Rory McIlroy's 2025 Masters victory is still the talk of the golf world. McIlroy, 35, played some phenomenal golf over the course of four rounds and earned his first-ever green jacket. This victory also meant that McIlroy joined an elite club of professional golfers who have won a career grand slam. Hence, heading into the 2025 Zurich Classic, all eyes were on McIlroy. On Thursday, when he completed playing Round 1 of the Zurich Classic, he was asked if he felt the nerves like he did at the Masters, or did it feel different. Rory McIlroy answered (via ASAP Sport): "No, not really. It's just playing golf. If anything, a little more relaxed knowing that I have a partner that if I do hit a bad shot that more times than not can bail me out."
