The young Ulsterman has made waves stateside with his performances in the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship and WGC-CA Championship now he will be put to the test at an American major.
Ahead of this week's Houston Open, which will act as a warm-up for the main event in Georgia next week, McIlroy revealed he has been running through the shots he will need around Augusta.
The 19-year-old sensation commented: "In practice I'm definitely thinking about Augusta. I'm trying to see shots that I'll need for the golf course."
Adding: "This week I'm trying to maybe just hit a few shots that I'll need next week as well."
Although he has never played a major stateside, McIlroy rose to fame after the 2007 Open Championship, where he picked up the silver medal for the highest-finishing amateur.
