Rory McIlroy's Masters victory was an exorcism of sporting trauma

AUGUSTA — That wasn’t a victory by Rory McIlroy, it was an exorcism, the demons that have haunted him for the past 14 years speared along with poor Justin Rose when the ball found the cup for the final time. Thomas Bjorn posted on X that McIlroy was always going to win it this way, with his arse on fire, trading despair and thrills at every turn. No Masters champion has ever posted four double bogeys and won.

AUGUSTA — Skipper Luke Donald left Augusta on Saturday with his New York notebook full of top notes.

Golf-mad Trump is cancelled at Augusta - that has got to hurt

AUGUSTA NATIONAL — A week ago, after upending the markets and global trading conventions with his tariff attack, Donald Trump rolled into Trump Doral, the course he owns in Miami, to have dinner with the LIV Golf hierarchy, players and guests before the start of the tournament, one of three LIV events at courses owned by the president. Trump’s golfing infatuation is arguably more entrenched than Dwight Eisenhower’s, who served two terms as president from 1953 to 1961.
Write Rory McIlroy off at your peril. He still has every chance of winning

AUGUSTA — Friday at the Masters brings its own tensions, the winners of day one mindful of what there is to lose, Thursday’s disappointed desperately reaching for something.

Rose was propelled by a three-shot overnight lead and the warm applause of patrons who were already stacked around the first tee to greet the marquee groups.
