McIlroy Makes History with Back-to-Back Masters Wins
Rory McIlroy has cemented his place in golf history by achieving a second consecutive Masters victory, joining an elite group of players who have successfully defended their major titles. This impressive feat was last achieved by Tiger Woods, who won back-to-back Masters in 2001 and 2002. McIlroy's triumph marks a significant milestone in his career, as he overcame a dramatic final round to claim the Green Jacket for the second year in a row. With this win, McIlroy becomes the first player to win consecutive Masters titles since Woods, solidifying his position among the golfing greats. The world No 2 posted a one-under 71 to finish on 12 under, one ahead of Scottie Scheffler, with Tyrrell Hatton's brilliant final-round 66 putting him in third spot alongside Justin Rose, Cameron Young, and Russell Henley.
