Read reports and analysis from McIlroy’s Masters win.
McIlroy’s Victory
McIlroy’s Masters victory was typical of his entire career, making a flying start then suffering a big blow on Sunday but managing to gather himself and eventually taste glory.

This victory moves him to six overall, with two Green Jackets, two US PGA Championships and one US Open and Open Championship.
Praise for McIlroy
Literally cannot be any question that this will make him Sir Rory! What a pleasure for our wee country and the entire island of Ireland!
One fan said it was an amazing result for Rory, adding that as someone from Northern Ireland they feel very proud of all he’s achieved.
Another added it was a great event that is held at a well constructed and magical golf course.

The Caddie’s Role
Rory McIlroy described Harry Diamond as the big brother he never had and looks up to him tremendously.
Trish Johnson said that Diamond is a very good golfer and they played junior golf together, which is a big plus as you’ve got a player on your bag that can see what Rory can see as well.
She added that they have such a great rapport, and she doesn’t underestimate a caddy being a friend when you are going through really pressurised moments, how much that means, and it’s a wonderful moment for him.
