LONDON
Rory McIlroy is hoping the rescheduling of the 2020 golf calendar can help him complete a career grand slam at the Masters in November. All four of golf’s majors have been affected by strict government restrictions to help prevent the spread of coronavirus. The Open Championship has been cancelled and the three American majors rescheduled for the second half of the year. Rather than its usual position as the first major of the year, The Masters will round off a hectic four months that is also scheduled to include the PGA Championship, US Open and Ryder Cup. ‘The Masters means so much. Obviously it’s the last major for me to win but putting that aside, it is such a special place, so many great memories already.’—APP
