The Masters 2025: Butch Harmon on Rory McIlroy having edge over Scottie Scheffler as favourite for Augusta National | Golf News happymamay

Boch Harmon believes that Rorre McLero has an advantage about defending the hero Scoti Shevler as a preferred for the great demand in the Master this week, Live on Sky Sports.

Chefler reaches that he becomes the first successive winner in Ugusta National since Tiger Woods and secures the green jacket for the third time in four years, with the success of last season of the wonderful 2024 that he witnessed called nine wins around the world.

The No. 1 world has not yet won the PGA tour in this campaign, while Mcilroy is a twice champion after beating a shot at AT & T Pebble Beach Pro-Aam with Mubari’s success over JJ Spaun in the players last month.

Scheffler is the favorite of Bookies over the Northern Irish to win the opening pioneer for this season, although Harmon believes that Mcilroy has a better chance to find a long -standing victory required to complete the Grand Slam profession.

Harmon said: “I think it is because of the way Shifler and Mcilroy play, everyone is excited by them,” Harmon said. “These will be the favorite.

“If I have to give you a favorite, then I say I think he is Ruri. This does not mean that he will win, but I think – on paper – prefers to win.

“He played well in Houston. He said he had some things he had to tighten – some of his iron game and things – but I think he will be fine. He seems to be working to work.

“Everything has been lined up. All stars line up.

After his success in the players – McLeroi said his sixth victory around the world in 14 months – he is “a more complete player” than ever, with Harmon Amal in his vision followed a more relaxing approach in his attempt to get the first great success since 2014.

Harmon added: “His game is completely ready to play,” Harmon added. “I think if he can relax and play the golf only and allow this, I think this could be the person who can bring him on the horse.

“He wants it very bad, and last year you can see that he will not allow himself to play. If he can calm down and play a golf game, which is very easy but not very easy to do in a specialty, he plays very beautifully.

“A lot of personal pressure on himself has won because he wanted it very bad, because he won the other three. Sheffler is the first rank in the world, but Mcilroy plays better than anyone at this moment.

“The great people who won there a lot, Tiger and Jack Nicklaus, were able to relax and enjoy the moment, and know that everything that will happen. I really think that if Ruri can do this, it will be difficult to overcome.”

Mcilroy historically made slow beginnings in The Master and only twice in the first round of the sixties of the last century in its previous 16 visits, with the appearance of last year under 71 years the first time that he started under equality since 2018.

World No. 2 owns seven of the 10 best years in Ugusta National, including the runner -up to Chefler in 2022, although he missed the reduction in two years of the past four years and failed to compete during the period of April 22.

Harmon said: “I think we will take a good look at Ruri on Thursday to see how his behavior is and see how he plays,” Harmon said. “Everyone all wanders in the first specialty – it’s like a horse at the start gate.

“You have to believe 100 percent in yourself and your ability. You have trained well, you are ready for that, you know the golf course, you can overcome a golf course in the way the ball leads – just as Tiger Woods did in the old days.

“Everything is in front of him, you just have to go and do so. You can’t pay. You cannot win the championship on Thursday or Friday, but you can put yourself in its position.

“Last year, it seemed always as if he was in his hurry and did not seem to calm down. I think we will see a different righteous this year – at least I hope it would make it exciting.”
