Rory McIlroy will make his eighth attempt at achieving golf’s career grand slam when the Masters starts.  

Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau’s Masters preparations suffered a blow as they missed the cut at the Valero Texas Open.  

Northern Ireland’s four-time major winner McIlroy was one over par after a one-over-par 73, while American DeChambeau was five over after a 76.   

Scotland’s Russell Knox, who led on seven under after the first round and is among those players needing to win to reach Augusta, is at three under.  

World number nine McIlroy, who failed to break par over his two rounds in Texas, is aiming to win the Masters for the first time and achieve golf’s career grand slam.
