Rory McIlroy says he’s getting used to Masters officials putting him out in the last group on day one of this year’s Masters.

In fact, the four-time Major winner will be the very last to tee off at 2.01pm local time, and playing in the company of fellow PGA and U.S. Open champion Martin Kaymer and American Bill Haas.

“It’s about the third year in a row I’ve been off last either Thursday or Friday here so I was sort of expecting it,” he said.

“I’m not much of a sleeping‑in sort of person so I’ll get up and I’ll probably go to the gym and I’ll just do everything that I can to get ready for the day.

“It does become a long enough day.  But I guess as well on a Thursday morning, you’re really just wanting to get here and get out and play, so there’s probably going to be a little bit of anticipation.

“But look, I’m in the Masters field and they can put me off at 6 o’clock in the evening and I’ll still get around and play, so I’ll be all right.”
