Rory McIlroy has defended his Masters title in a dramatic emotional victory at Augusta National, capturing his sixth major and cementing his place in history.
Just as Rory McIlroy answered every doubt in last year’s Masters win, Rose could have come to the sweetest peace with a victory on Sunday. Instead, he walked away with more kudos for his skill and grit, but the nagging feeling that he still couldn’t do enough to seize a green jacket.
Rory McIlroy overcame a chaotic weekend at Augusta National to defend his Masters title, holding off late charges to secure back-to-back green jackets and his sixth major championship.
The Players Championship winner says capturing that tournament last month is the all the preparation he needs as he shares the 54-hole lead at Augusta National.
Both men have a chance to claim their second green jacket, with the other standing in the way. If that isn’t a recipe for must-see sports theatre, we don’t know what is.
