    Rory McIlroy claims career grand slam with US Masters win | World News

    Rory McIlroy has completed a career grand slam in golf with his win at the US Masters tournament.

    The Masters was the last major tournament left for McIlroy to complete the modern golf grand slam – a feat only five others have managed before him.

    McIlroy, who was making his 11th attempt at completing the Grand Slam, faced off Justin Rose in a sudden-death playoff to decide the Masters champion, after they finished tied on 11 under at the end of regulation on Sunday.

    “It’s my 17th time here and I started to wonder if it would ever be my time,” McIlroy said just before slipping on the Green Jacket during the presentation ceremony.

    “I’m just absolutely honoured and thrilled and just so proud to be able to call myself a Masters champion.”

    McIlroy had missed his six-foot putt for par, a bogey which dropped him back to 11 under, where he joined Rose – leading to a dramatic play-off between the two.

    Only five other golfers have been able to complete a career grand slam, including Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen.

    McIlroy is a two-time winner of the PGA Championship, claiming the prize in 2012 and 2014

    The 35-year-old also won his first major title, the US Open, in 2011, and won The Open Championship in 2014.

    How did McIlroy get to the victory?

    McIlroy recovered from losing his overnight two-shot advantage with an opening-hole double bogey to initially take control at Augusta National, only to blow a four-shot lead over his closing six holes.

    The world No 2 bogeyed the last to close a one-over 73 and slip back to 11 under alongside Rose, who overturned a seven-stroke deficit and posted a stunning final-round 66 to force a play-off.

    The players returned to the 18th for the play-off, where McIlroy made amends for his 72nd-hole blunder by firing a stunning approach to within three feet of the pin and making the birdie putt required for a life-changing win.
