McIlroy Reflects on 'Incredible' Masters Win: 'I Don't Make It Easy'

Rory McIlroy has expressed his delight at securing a historic back-to-back Masters title, overcoming a challenging final round to claim a one-shot victory over Scottie Scheffler. McIlroy's win marked his sixth major title, joining an elite group of players including Jack Nicklaus, Sir Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods, who have achieved successive Masters victories. The world No 2 had built a record-breaking six-shot halfway lead but faced a tough test on the final day, falling two behind playing partner Cameron Young before responding with four birdies to secure the win. McIlroy acknowledged that winning the Masters is 'just really difficult' and that he didn't make it easy for himself, but was thrilled to have gotten the job done. He also reflected on his past experiences at Augusta National, where he had to wait 17 years to claim his first Green Jacket, and is now proud to have won two in a row.
