Rory McIlroy comes into the week as the defending champion, having won his first Masters title last year in dramatic fashion. His Masters Champions Dinner planned will set a high for the week. But once that’s over and Wednesday’s Masters Par 3 Championship is over, McIlroy’s attention will turn to defending his title.
