Rory McIlroy wins back-to-back Masters

Rory McIlroy wins back-to-back Masters

McIlroy's triumph at Augusta marks his second successive Masters win and further solidifies his status as a modern golf legend.

The 36-year-old overcame a challenging Saturday to deliver a composed final round, embracing his wife Erica Stoll and daughter Poppy on the 18th green.

The win has sparked renewed calls for a knighthood, though Prime Minister Keir Starmer has stated the decision remains with the independent honors committee.

McIlroy now sets his sights on another decade of competing for the sport's biggest prizes as he maintains his position at the top of the world rankings.
