McIlroy To Skip Masters Par 3 Contest; Day Favorite At Augusta

Rory McIlroy has revealed part of his 2016 pre-Masters strategy. McIlroy will forego the Wednesday Par 3 Contest this year, according to The Guardian.

 

McIlroy told The Guardian quote - “It's a bit of a distraction and the year I had my best chance at Augusta, 2011, I didn't play the par-three contest. So maybe the decision not to play it this year can work in my favor.”

 

According to Bovada, Jason Day is now the favorite to win the 2016 Masters.
