McIlroy Wins Back-to-Back Masters

McIlroy Wins Back-to-Back Masters

Rory McIlroy has cemented his place among golf’s all-time greats by winning the 90th Masters Tournament for the second year in a row.

Despite a challenging third round where he saw a six-shot lead vanish, McIlroy rallied on Sunday to join Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods as the only back-to-back champions.

His emotional victory was witnessed by his parents, who missed his historic career grand slam completion last year.

The win brings McIlroy’s major tally to six, matching the record of Sir Nick Faldo.
