Rory McIlroy defends Masters title

In a performance that cements his status as a golfing immortal, Rory McIlroy successfully defended his Masters crown with a final-round display of resilience and skill.

Joining the elite company of Jack Nicklaus, Sir Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods, McIlroy navigated a tense Sunday at Augusta to claim his sixth major championship.

The 36-year-old credited his victory to a rigorous preparation schedule and the emotional support of his parents, who were present for the historic moment.

The win sets McIlroy on a path to potentially surpass Tiger Woods' all-time career prize money record later this season.
