Rory McIlroy edged Justin Rose in a playoff to capture his first green jacket 14 years after leading in the fourth round at Augusta National

Rory McIlroy beat Justin Rose in a dramatic sudden-death playoff to win his first Masters title and become just the sixth man in history to achieve the career Grand Slam. McIlroy had allowed a four-shot lead to evaporate on the back nine as Englishman Rose sensationally moved back into contention.

After years of collapses and failures, Rory McIlroy finally got his green jacket. While it looked like things would once again end in tragedy multiple times, McIlroy cast his demons aside to win the Masters for the first time, and pick up a career grand slam in the process.
