Rory McIlroy Became Just The Fourth Male Golfer To Win Back-To-Back Masters Titles At Augusta
After winning on a thrilling Masters Sunday, Rory McIlroy’s majors wins now stands at six titles. The legendary Northern Irishman is now on par with the likes of Nick Faldo and Phil Mickelson. However, can McIlroy become the first to complete a modern-majors Grand Slam in the same calendar year?
It’s an extremely tall order – that has never been completed in the modern era – but McIlroy is looking to defy golf betting odds and further cement himself into the history books. Can the 36-year-old global superstar complete the feat? He certainly has it in his repertoire to give it a shot.
Rory McIlroy Majors Wins
After his record-breaking performance on the opening 36 holes at Augusta, it looked very likely that Rory McIlroy would earn a place in the list of lowest winning US Masters scores. However, after a wobbly showing in the third round and a vastly improved Sunday finale, McIlroy clinched his sixth major overall with a score of 276 (-12).
He completed his career Grand Slam last year when he won the Green Jacket at Augusta. McIlroy had to wait 11 years to add his name into the history books. His first major win came in 2011 when he landed the US Open. In the following year, he secured the PGA Championship. In 2014, he won both the PGA Championship as well as The Open.
