McIlroy credits Mickelson for advice that helped him win Masters

Rory McIlroy has revealed how a conversation with Phil Mickelson around 15 years ago helped him to finally end his misery at The Masters.

The world No 2 became the sixth male golfer, and the first European, to complete the career Grand Slam when he beat Justin Rose in a play-off last April, ending an 11-year wait for his fifth major and the Green Jacket that had so long eluded him.
