Rory McIlroy has claimed his second consecutive Masters title at Augusta National Golf Club (the prestigious major tournament held each April in Georgia, USA), finishing at 12-under par to win by a single stroke over world number one Scottie Scheffler. The Northern Irishman, 36, also held off a tight challenge from Tyrrell Hatton, Russell Henley, Justin Rose, and Cameron Young, who finished joint third. The victory is McIlroy's sixth major title overall and places him alongside Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods as the only players to wear Augusta's iconic green jacket in consecutive years.
