He took the sudden death playoffs, but Rory Mcilroy finally got his green jacket.
With his victory in the Masters tournament on Sunday, Mcilroy, 35, joined characters like Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Gene Sarazen as the sixth Grand Slam champion in the history of golf.
The feat was 11 years in process, and during the course of Sunday afternoon, it almost flew completely.
With the championship in his club, just five feet from the hole in 18, Mcilroy lost his putt, inviting his teammate from the Ryder Cup, Justin Rose, 44, for a Playoff from Death Saudden.
But the failed putt, not mentioning four -stroke leadership, Mcilroy lost in the back nine, since they are now forgotten.
