Rory McIlroy Goes Back-to-Back at the Masters With One-Shot Win

The win cements a sixth major, a rare repeat at Augusta.

Overview

  • McIlroy, who closed Sunday at 12-under, edged world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler by one shot.
  • His record six-stroke lead after 36 holes vanished Saturday, then birdies at 12 and 13 restored control on the back nine.
  • Scheffler finished 11-under with a bogey-free weekend, a feat no player had achieved in the final two rounds since World War II.
  • Tyrrell Hatton, Russell Henley, Justin Rose and Cameron Young tied for third at 10-under in a crowded chase.
  • McIlroy secured the win despite a wayward drive on 18 that led to a closing bogey, then shared an emotional celebration with his family on the green.
