Unburdened: For Masters champ Rory McIlroy, it's finally about all he has accomplished, not what's been missing. @RyanLavnerGC from Augusta National: nbcsports.com/golf/news/unbu…

Unburdened: For Masters champ Rory McIlroy, it's finally about all he has accomplished

Just wrapped 22-minute range session, then rapped a few practice putts. Went through every club. Appeared calm and loose, all things considered; at one point Brendon Todd showed him a photo on his photo, prompting a chuckle. To the tee he goes.

There's been a little change and a lot of stability. And there's also the Scottie Effect. It's propelled Scheffler and pressured others, and equaled a second green jacket. @RyanLavnerGC from the Masters: nbcsports.com/golf/news/mast…

Change, stability and the Scottie Effect combine for Scheffler's second green jacket

Scottie Scheffler's game propels him while pressuring others. It's now equaled two Masters titles.
