Rory McIlroy can complete a career Grand Slam with a win at the Masters, and he seems to be rounding into form just in time for the biggest tournament in golf. McIlroy finished fourth at the WGC-Dell Match Play two weeks ago, and he started his Masters week Monday with a match-play win over Chris Wood in a practice round. Rory hit a walkoff hole-in-one on the 16th hole to win 3&2.

McIlroy told the BBC that the course is currently "slow," but that could change in time for the first round.

Wood bought McIlroy dinner as a prize.
