His putting was definitely off today, but so too were his driving and iron play.
I don't think Rory overlooks any opponent, but I think he went into the round really thinking that he was the one to beat. Which is all well and good, as long as your game holds up and you're making pars and birdies.
It seemed like his short miss for eagle on the second hole ended up being his tone-setter for the day. That's when the pressure of Masters' past really seemed to kick in.
Either way, you're not gonna go into the final round of a major trailing by 3 shots, shoot +2 on the round, and come away feeling very confident about how you dealt with the pressure or your performance. The question will still loom this upcoming week for McIlroy about why this layout continues to deny him.
What part of all that was nerves, what part of that was execution - who knows.... It obviously seems a bit of both played a role in his demise today, at least based in part on what I observed.
