Rory McIlroy Clinches Golf's Career Grand Slam with Masters Victory
Rory McIlroy won the Masters at Augusta, completing golf's career Grand Slam and becoming the sixth player to win all four major championships.
The final round was marked by a dramatic double-bogey from McIlroy on the first hole and a brief lead change as Bryson DeChambeau edged ahead before the playoff.
The title was decided in a playoff between McIlroy and Justin Rose; Rose missed a 15-foot birdie putt at the 18th hole while McIlroy converted a 4-foot putt to secure victory.
McIlroy's reaction was emotional, reflecting the significance of achieving major glory after a lengthy wait.
The morning following the win, McIlroy found a Green Jacket in his Augusta rental home, symbolizing his triumph.
The narrative portrayed DeChambeau as a nemesis, fading during the final day as McIlroy advanced toward the playoff and ultimate victory.
This Masters is viewed as a landmark achievement that may lead to more major wins for McIlroy, with expectations that he could win additional Masters and other majors in the future.
