Rory McIlroy defends Masters title

Rory McIlroy joined an elite club including Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods by winning consecutive Masters championships on Sunday.

Despite a rollercoaster final round that saw a six-shot lead vanish, McIlroy regained his composure on the back nine to finish at 12-under par.

The victory was particularly emotional as his parents, who missed his 2025 win, were present to witness the achievement.

President Donald Trump was among the first to congratulate the 36-year-old, branding him a 'legend' of the sport.
