Rory Mcilroy was eliminated at Masters 2025: Round +3 shock and missed chance to make fans stunned

Augusta, Georgia – Rory Mcilroy, the hope of the world golf village and the person who is always expected to complete the Grand Slam of the career, was suddenly excluded from the Masters 2025 after the second round of disappointing with the +3 point. This is a big shock not only for fans but also for experts – who once believed that this year would be a golden opportunity for Northern Ireland golfers to conquer the prestigious blue shirt in their collection.
Starting the tournament with unstable form, Mcilroy lost the pace of the game right from the first round. Although there were a few glowing moments, like a Birdie in hole 13, consecutive mistakes in the Par-4 holes made him slide. In the second round, everything became worse when Mcilroy was constantly suffering from Bogey and even had a harmful Double Bogey in hole 7 – a hole considered a “death trap” this year with many leading golfers.
Not overcoming the cutting type (+2) is a few doubt, especially when Mcilroy had impressive performances in Augusta in the past. This is the first time since 2021 he was eliminated early at Masters, hoping to complete his Grand Slam once more postponed.
Fans have expressed their deep regret on social networks. Many comments describe the emotions “dizzy” and “do not speak” before the performance of Mcilroy. Many people believe that psychological pressure in Augusta – the place once witnessed the famous British collapse in 2011 – is still the biggest barrier to prevent the footsteps of this talented golf player.
Speaking after the match, Mcilroy admitted that he was “extremely disappointed” and said he would take time to analyze, adjust the game and especially the psychology of competition. “I was very well prepared but everything did not go in the right direction. This is a reminder that Masters is always a harsh challenge,” he shared.
With the elimination Mcilroy, the Masters 2025 became more unpredictable than ever. While his Grand Slam dream once more unfinished, fans can only hope that Rory will return stronger – whether in Augusta or in another major tournament in the future.
