PGA TOUR
It took Rory McIlroy 17 years to win his first Masters title, but only one year (less a day) to win his second. McIlroy made back-to-back birdies at Amen Corner on his way to a one-stroke victory at Augusta National. He joins Tiger Woods, Nick Faldo and Jack Nicklaus as the only repeat winners of the Masters. It was also the 31st time in the last 36 Masters that the winner came from the final pairing. It is his sixth major title, which ties him with Faldo, Lee Trevino and Phil Mickelson. The win is also McIlroy’s 30th on the PGA Tour, which puts him in a tie for 16th on the all-time list. Scottie Scheffler became the first player in the last 82 years to play the final two rounds bogey-free, but his bid for the largest 36-hole comeback in Masters history came up one stroke short. It’s his third runner-up finish in a major and his fifth consecutive top-10 result at Augusta. Tyrrell Hatton recorded not only his best finish at the Masters, but his best result in any golf major after finishing in a four-way tie for third. He was joined by Russell Henley, who was trying to become the first player to win the tournament on his birthday, Justin Rose, who despite being the only player in the field with all four rounds under par, came up short once again in his bid to become the second-oldest champion at age 45, and Cameron Young, who started the final round tied for lead. …Nick Taylor‘s opening round 71 was his best start at the Masters and just two strokes off his career low at Augusta. For the first time as a pro, he was inside the top 10 at a major championship at the end of a round. …Corey Conners recorded his lowest result in seven weekend finishes at Augusta. His two double bogeys in the final round were his first since the second round of the 2024 Masters. …Mike Weir‘s opening round 81 was his highest since shooting 82 at the 2015 Masters.
