Rory McIlroy wins second Masters

McIlroy overcame a difficult Saturday to clinch the title, crediting a late-night range session for restoring his composure.

His victory was marked by personal milestones, with his parents Gerry and Rosie present to witness his second triumph at the prestigious tournament.

The Northern Irishman has now set his sights on a decade of continued dominance at the sport's highest level.

Despite his on-course success, a potential knighthood remains a subject of public debate after the Northern Ireland Executive's nomination was reportedly stalled.
