Rory McIlroy’s Wild Masters Win (From 6-Shot Collapse to Champion)

Rory McIlroy’s Wild Masters Win (From 6-Shot Collapse to Champion)

Rory McIlroy had a six-shot lead after 36 holes at Augusta — and by Saturday afternoon, it was gone.

In this Masters reaction episode of Tough Lies, Colin and Richard break down one of the most dramatic weeks at Augusta in recent memory, from McIlroy’s early dominance to his Saturday collapse, and ultimately, a gritty Sunday performance that saw him fight his way back and close it out under pressure.

They’re joined by former PGA Tour player Rick Fehr, who brings an inside-the-ropes perspective on what it actually feels like when someone takes a huge tournament lead - how it can affect your game and lead to bad decision making. Together, they unpack the chaos across the leaderboard, fill Brad Faxon’s inbox and have a great conversation about the power of searching for higher learning in golf and life.

Plus: a MindTRAK mental moment on Rory’s shot routine, the role of trust versus control under pressure, and why winning at Augusta is less about perfection — and more about how you respond when things fall apart.

“Because the toughest lies in golf aren’t always on the course.”
