McIlroy’s Masters triumph may even force Sports Personality of the Year to afford due recognition to golf. It is only April but it feels highly unlikely the scene immediately after McIlroy claimed the Masters on Sunday will be matched.

In doing so, McIlroy became just the sixth golfer in history to complete a career grand slam.

Rory McIlroy reflected on the lifting of a “burden” lasting more than a decade after winning the Masters in dramatic fashion at Augusta National. McIlroy’s defeat of Justin Rose on the first sudden death hole means he has become just the sixth player in history to win the career grand slam.

Rory McIlroy has completed his quest to win a career grand slam after securing his first Masters title in a dramatic playoff victory over Justin Rose at Augusta National. The Northern Irishman had a one-shot lead over Rose heading into the final hole of the final round but a poor putt resulted in a round of 73, forcing sudden death. McIlroy went on to hold his nerve in the playoff, requiring just one hole to secure his fifth major title and a first in nearly 11 years.
