AUGUSTA, Ga.—The closer Rory McIlroy came to fulfilling his lifetime dream—winning the Masters—the more it kept slipping away. Sunday at Augusta National felt like his last 11 years in the majors, blunders mixed in with sheer brilliance.
A two-shot lead gone in two holes. A four-shot lead gone in three holes with a shocker of a mistake. A 5-foot putt on the final hole to win narrowly missed.
