Rory McIlroy Defends Masters Title

McIlroy finished the tournament at 12-under par, matching the achievement of legends Jack Nicklaus, Sir Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods.

Despite a shaky start to his final round, he regained control with back-to-back birdies on the 12th and 13th holes.

The victory marks his sixth major title and ends a decade of agonizing near-misses at the prestigious Georgia course.

An emotional McIlroy celebrated on the 18th green with his parents, who had traveled from Northern Ireland to witness the historic moment.
