Send us a textRecorded April 13th, 2025Redemption tastes sweet in a green jacket. After 13 years of heartbreak at Augusta National, Rory McIlroy finally captured the elusive Masters title in dramatic fashion, defeating Justin Rose in a playoff to complete the career Grand Slam.The final round was pure theater. McIlroy and DeChambeau struggled early, with Rory making double on the first hole and Bryson snap-hooking his tee shot into the trees. As the day unfolded, the leaderboard transformed into a revolving door of contenders. At one point, McIlroy built a four-shot lead—eerily reminiscent of his 2011 collapse—before hitting his approach shot into the water on 13. Meanwhile, Justin Rose made an astonishing ten birdies, Zach Johnson turned back the clock at 49 years old, and Ludvig Åberg remained in contention until a disastrous triple bogey on 17.The most poignant moment came after the victory when McIlroy revealed that Angel Cabrera—his playing partner during that infamous 2011 meltdown—had left him a note in his locker before the final round. Full circle doesn't begin to describe it. With a gleam in his eye at the press conference, Rory posed a question to the assembled media: "What are all y'all going to talk about next year? What are you going to ask me?"With this victory, McIlroy joins Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods in golf's most exclusive club. The question now becomes not if he belongs among the greats, but how high he might climb on that illustrious list.
