Rory McIlroy's quest to complete his career grand slam fell short with the Ulsterman missing the cut at Augusta National for the second time in three years. Scottie Scheffler, the reigning champion, played himself out of contention. This week has not been great for three more of the sport's big names. It has been Rahm outplaying Koepka midway through the final round as the Spaniard attempts to complete a steady but strong comeback over the final few holes. Rahm head-to-head battle will not only be epic but historic. Rahm, posting one of the best efforts in harsh conditions Saturday, is similarly looking to close out a career grand slam leg - though he's seeking his second career major championship.īoth men are jockeying for position down the stretch, and it indeed looks like the Koepka vs. Kopeka, who finished 55th or worse at all four majors in 2022, is looking to win his fifth such title while closing one of two remaining career grand slam legs. This star-studded 87th playing of the Masters has not been without its share of significant storylines. Leader after each of the first three rounds, Brooks Koepka has given strokes back to Jon Rahm with the two behemoths battling down the stretch for what would be either's first green jacket. With Moving Day finally behind us and Round 4 of the 2023 Masters in full swing, blue skies and cool temperatures have overtaken Augusta National Golf Club for what should be a sterling finish.
