Has it already been six years since Rory McIlroy sacked Congressional with a record-shattering performance that heralded his announcement to the golf world like no one had since Tiger Woods at the 1997 Masters? And has it already been three years since Rory's last major win - a thrilling, if forgettable, victory over Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler at Valhalla in the '14 PGA?
At that moment - 25 years old and with four majors to his name - McIlroy was tied with Jack Nicklaus in Slams won by age 25 and trailed Tiger Woods, who hit his apex in his triple-major 24-year-old season of 2000, by two Slams.
