Rory McIlroy repeats as Masters champion

In a display of grit and composure, Rory McIlroy has joined the elite ranks of Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods as a back-to-back Masters champion.

Despite a challenging final round that saw a double-bogey on the fourth hole, McIlroy rallied on the back nine to hold off a fierce charge from Scottie Scheffler.

The victory marks McIlroy's sixth major title and cements his status as the premier golfer of his generation.

The emotional win was celebrated by his parents, who were present at the 18th green to witness the historic achievement.
