When Wyndham Clark emerged on the final day of the 2023 U.S. Open Championship to beat Rory McIlroy by one stroke, the runner-up put the difficult day into perspective. "I would go through 100 Sundays like this to get my hands on another major championship," McIlroy said.

It took one of the most dramatic Sundays in the history of the Masters - and a playoff hole - but Rory McIlroy finally has his green jacket. The 35-year-old's incredible birdie on the first playoff hole was enough to overcome two double-bogeys and a charging Justin Rose to become the sixth man ever to win the career grand slam. McIlroy had a chance to win in regulation but missed a five-foot par putt on the 18th to fall back into a tie with Rose.

The Masters is headed to a playoff between Rory McIIroy and Justin Rose after the four-time major champion McIlroy bogeyed the 18th hole on Sunday. The tournament appeared to be McIlroy's after he birdied the 17th hole to take a one-shot edge, but he was unable to get up-and-down from the greenside bunker to fall back into a tie with Rose. The sudden-death playoff will begin on the 18th hole before heading to the 10th if necessary. More to come.

That's how electric it can be when McIlroy's otherworldly talents are on display.
