Rory McIlroy won the Masters, defeating Justin Rose on the first hole of the playoffs to complete a professional grand slam.
Canada’s Corey Conners ranked eighth with five points. Listowel, Ontario, the locals entered the final round, with McIlroy the only one who had third place.
Mike Weir of Brights Grove, Ontario is the only Canadian male who has ever won the professional. He won the Masters Championship with Green Jacket in 2003.
McIlroy became the sixth player to achieve a professional grand slam, joining Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Gary players, Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen.
It should be a coronation in the last nine games of the Augusta Nationals, which turned into a heartbreaking, depressed result of golf’s greatest theater, with McIlroy’s knees bent and crying in joy and incredible.
At the beginning, he lost two leads in two shots. His back nine lost four-shot lead in three holes, a shocking miss, one in a 13-five-5-shot three-pole stream tributary.
Just when it looked as if he would blow another major, he shot two majestic shots when there was no need to do it again.
McIlroy has not been professional for 11 years.
And more.
