Phil Mickelson doesn't believe the expectation to win his first Green Jacket will affect Rory McIlroy

Transcript

00:00Yeah, that's challenging, but he's done it so many times in his ability to win tournaments.

00:07He's been able to compartmentalize that.

00:10I don't think that's going to be an issue for him.

00:13I think that he drives the ball so long and straight

00:17that he has a huge advantage on that golf course.

00:21He and about 20 guys that drive it like he does

00:24will have an advantage of playing it a certain way.

00:26They can play it a certain way that is much more aggressive

00:30and take advantage of holes than some others, than guys like myself.

00:34But you still have to execute, you still have to hit the shots,

00:37and I think that's what he's focused on.

00:39I think his ability to compartmentalize all the things that have transpired in the past

00:44is a strength of his, so I don't think it'll be an issue,

00:47or I don't think that's what's holding him back from winning the Masters.
