Rory McIlroy won the 89th Masters Tournament in a dramatic final round that ended in a one-hole playoff against Justin Rose. McIlroy, who had a two-shot lead entering the day, struggled at the start but regained his lead with birdies on the 15th and 17th holes. Despite a bogey on the 18th, he was able to secure the win with a birdie in the playoff. This victory marks McIlroy’s fifth major championship and first since 2014. Rose, who shot a final-round 66, nearly staged a remarkable comeback to force the playoff. McIlroy’s win ends an 11-year major championship drought and earns him $4.2 million in prize money. The next major tournament on the golf calendar is the PGA Championship in May.
