Rory McIlroy wins back-to-back Masters

McIlroy's victory joins him with golf legends Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods as the only back-to-back champions in the tournament's 90-year history.

Despite a shaky third round and a double-bogey early on Sunday, the Northern Irishman rallied with a composed back nine to secure his sixth major title.

The win was particularly emotional for McIlroy, who celebrated on the 18th green with his parents and daughter Poppy.

Scottie Scheffler, who finished as runner-up, praised McIlroy's resilience during a thrilling final round battle.
