Rory McIlroy wins second Masters

Rory McIlroy wins second Masters

Rory McIlroy has made history at Augusta National, becoming only the fourth man to win back-to-back Masters titles.

The Northern Irishman finished one shot clear of Scottie Scheffler to secure his second Green Jacket, cementing his place among the all-time greats of the sport.

McIlroy's victory was a masterclass in calm and control, aided by a late-night range session and supportive messages from his inner circle.

His caddie, Harry Diamond, also banked a significant bonus from the win, which is estimated to be the largest top prize in Masters history.

Following the triumph, calls for McIlroy to receive a knighthood have intensified across the UK.
