McIlroy has two wins this season heading into the Masters, the major tournament that has kept him from the career Grand Slam.

JJ Spaun came so close to the biggest title of his PGA Tour career, but an untimely water ball on the island green at TPC Sawgrass did him in.

There are few things that Spaun would take back from what has to be considered a career-best performance, even if he has a single tour win in the Valero Texas Open. Maybe his putt on the 72nd hole on Sunday evening, when his ball came up about two rolls short of victory on a birdie try.
