Brandel Chamblee thinks Rory McIlroy has the best chance to win the Masters, but thinks Augusta National is the “nemesis” that brings the worst golf balls for the Northern Ireland.

McIlroy arrives in Georgia and is still looking for the elusive victory needed to complete a professional Grand Slam, and has finished 21 top ten in the professional top ten since the 2014 PGA Championship success.

In March, he won the season opening at AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and after the players in March achieved playoff success, the world ranked No. 2 as FedEx ranked No. 1, and has already won two PGA Tour victories this year.

He revealed that he watched Devil Wears Prada according to Lauren Weisberger’s novel, using two main characters from the film to describe McIlroy’s hopes in the Masters, the night before his playoff victory at TPC Sawgrass on Monday, using the film’s two main characters with Charblee.

“I would say that Augusta Country is the Miranda Priest who plays Andrea Sachs.” Golf Channel. “This is his enemy. We see Rory’s worst golf course almost every year.

“It was his worst golf last year in the Grand Slam, the worst golf of the previous year. In the two years before that, it was his worst golf. He was not doing well there every year. He averaged about 42 greens, and on average, the winner hits about 52 greens.

“Things about his golf course were very problematic for him, but I think he turned to a soft ball, which I think is really sad and gave him more hope for his success there because it forced him to be determined.

“The world of golf has reason to be excited about this possibility, and from a competitive standpoint, he has never been to a better master or a sharper master.”

Did McIlroy beat in Augusta?

Defending champion Scottie Scheffler has only been 20 in the past 18 months but still has no wins in 2025 but missed the start of the season due to injury, while two-time champion Xander Schauffele is also working hard for fitness.

“He won’t be more games than Scheffler is going to catch Scheffler now,” Charblee added. “Xander (Schauffele) is a bit off his game.

“Something about the Augusta Nationals is not very suitable for Collin Morikawa. LudvigÅberg is a little out of place with his game.

“You’re on the list, and his closest competitors, those who are easy to give him the biggest challenge, you can all be a little out of place – Rory never got into the Masters better.

“It’s Rory’s from a technical and psychological perspective.”

Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods are still the only five players – having finished the professional Grand Slam since the 1934 Masters, McIlroy has another chance to join the exclusive group.

“On the past 59 years, only one person (the Grand Slam) has done it – I would say that this proves the level of competition is constantly improving,” Chalbull said. “So we can put the hat tips to understand what Rory is trying to do.

“It’s true that there aren’t so many players very close. Arnold Palmer approached in the ’68 PGA (Champion) when he missed putting (Sam) Snead at the 1949 U.S. Open Open, when he was on the 17th or 71st hole at Ben Hogan’53 Open Well Back of Ben Hogan.

“When Rory stood on the first t-shirt with Patrick Reed, you can look at Rory, where he mastered that goal, but there were very few successes when completing a professional Grand Slam.”
