Rory McIlroy had been trying for 11 arduous years to join one of golf’s most exclusive fraternities, and his long wait came to an end on Sunday with a win at the Masters. McIlroy, who started Sunday’s final round with a two-stroke lead, overcame some bumps in the road including a furious comeback by Justin Rose to force a one-hole playoff after shooting 1-over par on the day, and finishing at 11-under par for the tournament and cementing his place among the game’s immortals. With his victory at the Masters, the 35-year-old completed the career grand slam - winning each of golf’s four majors. McIlroy becomes just the sixth player to accomplish the feat joining Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. McIlroy defeated the Englishman Rose in a redo of hole 18 after sinking a four-foot putt to birdie and securing the historic victory. Immediate emotion fell over McIlroy, tossing his putter and hat in the air and letting out a huge scream just before falling to his knees as the crowd on hand cheered him on. McIlroy then met up with his wife Erica Stoll and his daughter, Poppy, to continue the celebration.
