By Ed Osmond LONDON (Reuters) – Rory McIlroy’s bid for an elusive first U.S. Masters title and the grand slam of golf’s major championships has received an unexpected boost from the long-range weather forecast. Heavy rain and storms are predicted to batter the Augusta National course, handing a potential advantage to the Northern Irishman whose four major titles have all come at tournaments afflicted by adverse weather conditions. McIlroy, the world number two, is long overdue a Masters triumph on a course perfectly suited to his long driving and creative shot-making.
