Rory McIlroy defends Masters title

McIlroy’s victory at Augusta National marks his second consecutive green jacket, a feat not achieved since Tiger Woods in the early 2000s.

The world number two credited his success to a rigorous preparation schedule at his 'home course' and advice from legend Jack Nicklaus.

Scottie Scheffler finished just one stroke behind, later expressing frustration with the course conditions on Friday.

Holywood, Northern Ireland, erupted in celebration as local fans called for McIlroy to receive a knighthood for his historic achievements.
