Folks, who could forget that historic moment when Rory McIlroy claimed the Masters last year in April 2025? A year has passed, but the memory of that triumph, which secured him the Career Grand Slam, is still crystal clear. What a sensational round he conjured on the course!
But before the trophy was lifted, there was plenty of heart-pounding drama. On the notorious 13th hole, a wedge landed in Rae's Creek – a truly shocking moment! But Rory, the old fox, fought his way back and ultimately claimed the victory with great resolve.
