AUGUSTA — Rory McIlroy couldn’t get out of Augusta National quickly enough Thursday night.&nbsp;

If you don’t think he possesses some pretty stout mental toughness, you weren’t paying much attention to his impressive bounce-back on Friday. {ai:summary}<p>Rory McIlroy expressed anger and frustration after his performance at Augusta National, leaving the venue quickly.
