What is the most important thing Rory McIlroy has to do?

What is the most important thing Rory McIlroy has to do tomorrow to win the green jacket? (And I mean one thing. Not keep his emotions under control and putt well. It's either keep his emotions under control, or putt well, or drive well, or get through the front nine even par, or birdie all the par 5s ...)Rory needs to remain aggressive, try to make birdies when Powerful Youth At The Masters the opportunity presents. Stay away from the four corners, Rory.He needs to remember that gods and immortals don't win majors. Human beings win majors, and far more ordinary human beings than him — flawed, nervous human beings have done so.Just be himself and stay comfortable out there. Having Graeme McDowell following him will help. G-Mac sure knew how to stay loose at the U.S. Open. Of course, in this space, I've also predicted Mickelson (T18) would win, that Rory Sabbatini (MC) would be a darkhorse, and that Tiger was going to make his move Saturday (74).All he has to do stand on that first tee and think about the fame, money and endorsements he'll rake in if he wins it. Wait, I answered the wrong question. That's what you don't do, Rory.Hit greens in regulation. Doing that will keep the big numbers off his card and put pressure on Cabrera and his other pursuers to do something amazing.All he has to do, is birdie three par 5s, which gives him slack to shoot 70. Do this, and no one will catch him. He can jig up 18 like Michael Flatley. A great (Irish) American victory.Rory needs to set a goal. Any goal. A score, a swing thought, anything to keep him in the precious present.
