McIlroy Reflects on 'Incredible' Masters Victory

Following a record-breaking halfway lead, Rory McIlroy secured his second consecutive Masters title at Augusta National, overcoming a challenging final day to claim a one-shot win over Scottie Scheffler. McIlroy, who had built a six-shot lead midway through the tournament, found himself two behind playing partner Cameron Young but responded with four birdies to seal his sixth major title. The world No 2 acknowledged that winning The Masters is 'just really difficult' and expressed his delight at joining Jack Nicklaus, Sir Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods as the only players to achieve back-to-back victories at the tournament. McIlroy's victory marked the completion of the third leg of the Grand Slam, with the Northern Irishman having waited 17 years to claim his first Green Jacket before winning his second in a row.
