AUGUSTA: Rory McIlroy hopes a tweak to his swing could hold the key to his chances of clinching a career Grand Slam at next week’s Masters. After watching Bryson DeChambeau win September’s US Open with an emphasis on maximum distance, McIlroy made swing changes and club experiments to try adding length off the tee. “From what I’ve done and what I’ve been trying, sort of experimenting with, it’s the fastest I’ve ever moved the club, the fastest my body has ever moved,” McIlroy said. “I’ve always been pretty long, but I felt like there was room to (improve),” McIlroy said. He has also managed five top-10 Masters finishes since but the green jacket and career Slam have eluded him.
