McIlroy joins elite group with successful major title defense

Rory McIlroy made history on Sunday with his second consecutive Masters victory, joining a select group of golfers who have successfully defended their major titles. This achievement puts him in the company of notable golfers such as Tiger Woods and Brooks Koepka. McIlroy overcame a dramatic final round, where he squandered a six-shot halfway lead and faced a Sunday scare, to clinch the Green Jacket for the second year in a row. His victory marks the first back-to-back win at The Masters since Woods achieved the feat. McIlroy's success is a testament to his skill and determination, and he has solidified his position as one of the top golfers in the world.
