Rory McIlroy fended off a late collapse, winning his first-ever Masters Tournament after beating Justin Rose in a playoff.
He was, expectedly, emotional after sinking the tournament-winning putt. It was a moment he has likely dreamed about since turning pro in 2007 at 18 years old.
McIlroy missed a tournament-sealing putt on No. 18, setting up the playoff and losing momentum out of his favor. He was able to birdie a re-do of hole 18, beating Rose, who scored a par 4.
The 35-year-old golfer from Northern Ireland shed tears as he secured his first green jacket and subsequent career Grand Slam, joining a group of now six golfers who have won every major at least once in their career.
