McIlroy seals back-to-back Masters title at Augusta
TL;DR
Rory McIlroy became the fourth golfer to win The Masters in consecutive years, finishing 11-under and one stroke ahead of Scottie Scheffler at Augusta. After opening with a six-shot halfway lead, his final round a 71 included the unusual distinction of becoming the first Masters champion to lose strokes to the field over the last 36 holes, but he still secured his second green jacket and cemented his place among golf’s legends.
