Rory McIlroy's historic Masters triumph was the result of a meticulous focus strategy, according to his sports psychologist Bob Rotella. Eschewing conversation, even with playing partner Bryson DeChambeau, McIlroy remained concentrated, a tactic that led to victory in a sudden-death playoff against Justin Rose.

Aged 35, McIlroy made history as the first European man to complete a career Grand Slam. DeChambeau later revealed their silence during a tense final round, but Rotella emphasized the importance of the game plan over social discourse.

By staying true to his strategy and ignoring external factors, McIlroy secured the historic title, erasing past disappointments. Rotella predicts McIlroy's new-found confidence will inspire more triumphs, marking the start of what could be a season peppered with multiple wins.
