    Rory McIlroy tees off during the third round of the 2011 Masters Tournament.

Rory McIlroy generated plenty of buzz Thursday with his opening-round 63 at the Honda Classic.

And if he goes on to win, he'll come into the Masters next month as a popular pick.

The two-time major champion has had a mixed bag in five Masters appearances. He looked like a winner in 2011, but a final-round 80 pushed him all the way down to a tie for 15th.

Last year, McIlroy tied for 25th as he struggled with changes in his equipment.
