Rory McIlroy secured his second consecutive Masters title with a composed final-round 71 to finish at 12-under, edging world number one Scottie Scheffler by a single stroke at Augusta.
The victory marks McIlroy’s sixth major and places him alongside legends like Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods as back-to-back Masters champions.
Despite pressure from a tightly packed leaderboard, including Justin Rose and several others in contention, McIlroy’s resilience and improved accuracy proved decisive, as he held firm through a challenging final round to confirm his status among the game’s greats and build on last year’s long-awaited breakthrough at Augusta.
