Rory McIlroy is at a stage in his career where he wants to win majors more than he needs them.
It's a good place to be and it showed when he won the Masters for the second straight year.
The next step could be the toughest of all.
Never mind that Fred Couples quipped that McIlroy may never lose at the Masters.
Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods all came up well short in their bid for three in a row.
What made this Masters feel different is that McIlroy's win felt inevitable, just like when Woods won back-to-back in 2001-02.
