Augusta, Georgia – Rorre McLeroiA long time ago, the Grand Slam profession has finally ended.
The greatest achievement in his career was nerve and drama, such as the near mistakes that came before that.
The 35-year-old from Northern Ireland defeated the beginning of a shaky-even more dangerous-in the last round of Master 89 at the National Golf Club on Sunday to defeat Justin Rose In the first hole of a sudden separate match to reach a green jacket and become just a sixth golf player to complete the Grand Slam career.
Mcilroy joins Jin Sarzin, Ben Hogan, Gary playerand Jack Nickelus and Woods tiger As the only golf players who pick up the main championships in the Master’s era.
“This is the seventeenth time here, and I started wondering whether this is my time,” McLeroy said. “I think that the next ten years will here with the burden of the four major championships on my shoulder and try to achieve this, yes, I am somewhat wondering what we will all talk about about going to masters next year.”
In the qualifiers at PAR-4 18th, both players hit the launch clips in the corridor. Rose approach approached 187 yards on the hole on the fly, and the ball rose to 15 feet. The second shot of the Mcilroy was better, as it fell on the slope over the hole with the ball rolled 4 feet from the cup while the surrounding shepherds chanted green.
After spending a few minutes to read the bot, Rose Burdi’s attempt to collapse and remained well. With a second chance to take his first green jacket, he missed 5 feet in the 72nd hole. Mcilroy did not miss again.
Mcilroy threw his strike in the air and put his head in his hands. He fell on his knees and cried before embracing the box, Harry Diamond. Mcilroy found his wife, Erica, and his daughter, poppy, and he was still crying because he was walking for a long time of eighteenth green to the club while thousands of shepherds chanted him.
Later, while Mcilroy went to the green practice for the cup width, his coach, former PGA player Prad Foxon, and told him, “What a roller ship.”
“I would like to say that it has passed 14 years, from a difference of four shots in 2011, and I felt that I could do it there,” McLeroy said. “Yes, there was a lot of pent -up emotion that just came out in that eighteenth green. A moment of this example makes all years and all near calls deserve it.”
Mcilroy thanked his family and team while accepting the cup before he slipped on his green jacket.
“They were on this trip with me all the way,” McLeroy said. “They know the burden that I have carried to come here every year and try to try and try again.”
Mcilroy sufficiently in the last 18 hole to join this exclusive club, and published 1 more than 73 to finish 11 below. Rose, who ended 11 years old, was repelled with 66 years old-with a 20-foot bird on his height 72-to force the first playing match in The Masters since 2017.
Rose also competed in that comma, and fell to Spain Sergio Garcia On the first hole.
On Sunday, Rose seven strikes behind Mcilroy was during the tenth hole, but he had six birds and two ghosts in the last eight holes, including huge huge in No. 18, to erase this deficit.
“It is a kind of dream that you dream of as a child, and to have it and opened it, it was a special feeling,” said Rose on Bot, who eventually forced the qualifiers. Unfortunately, the qualifiers always end so quickly.
“You know, this sudden death. You don’t really get a chance. If you are not the person who hit the great shot or the great hole, it is over. But nothing I could do more today.”
Mcilroy had an opportunity to capture a green jacket on the 72th opening. Its bullet was safely found on the corridor, but his approach broke out to the right and fell in the Greensid warehouse. It quietly cut into about 5 feet. Par Patt slipped behind the hole on the low side, and sent him to a decisive match against Rose.
Lev Golf Patrick ReedThe Master of the 2018 Championship ranked third in his nine years with 69 under 69 on Sunday. World 1 Golf player Scotti CheflerWho was trying to win a third green jacket in four years, ranked fourth in his eight -year -old after the publication of 69. Praison Deschambo (3-75) and Sungjae IM (69) Tie in fifth place in 7 below.
The eleventh Mcilroy attempt to finish the Grand Slam profession, most of which were among those who did so, and for a period of time on Sunday, seemed to have had to wait another year after his progress in four runs in nine seconds.
It is about to collapse in the master’s degree again, Mcilroy presented one of the most unforgettable shots in his career in Par-4 17. Rose was already in the club as a 11-year-participated captain, so Mcilroy needed Birdie one of the last two holes to avoid a sudden separation match.
After hitting it over 248 yards on the right side of the corridor, the mcilroy slapped an iron and urged the ball to “go, go, go!” As it followed in the corridor. Dress the ball over the green color and wrapped two feet from the cup. Make the bird to go to 12 below, one in front of Rose.
It looked enough – until Mcilroy missed the short palace on the eighteenth.

Mcilroy took the rotation in 1-Nder 35 and was the first golf player to 13 below. Another bird added on Par-4 10 to maintain the progress of the quadruple.
But Mcilroy gave the golf players chasing the return prayer when he struggled in two holes in the iconic Ameen Ameen corner in Ugusta. In PAR-4 11th, the Mcilroy approach went to the blessing in front of the green. The ball stopped over the bank. It was cut into 10 feet and missed the bot. He dropped his ghost to 13 below.
After giving equality on PAR-3 12th, the disaster was struck on PAR-5 13th. Mcilroy took a conservative strategy after it reached 300 yards by car under the corridor. Instead of going green, put his approach to 86 yards. Then he struck one of the worst wedge shots in his career. The ball sailed anywhere near his goal, twice bounced on the West Bank and fell into a tributary of Corre Ray.
“I wanted to cry for him,” said Deschambo, who was playing with McLeroi. “I mean, as a professional, you just know to hit it in the middle of the green. I can’t believe that it went for it or it should have erupted. But I had bad footage in my career as well, and this happens.
“When you try to win a big championship, especially here, on Sunday from Augusta, Master, you just have to do this and accomplish the task and do this correctly. There were times when he seemed to have full control and sometimes like,” What is happening? “” “
After a penalty kick from a stroke, Mcilroy has passed to 11 feet. He missed Putt and reached a double ghost 7. Its progress was on Rose to one.
Then, in PAR-4 14, Mcilroy pushed fire in the trees on the right, and his approach was less than green. It turns into about 10 feet. Part Part seemed stormed the hole, but it stopped about an inch of the cup. Another ghost dropped it to 10 below and a three -direction tie with Rose and Ludvig åberg.
Mcilroy occupied two strokes on Dechaambeau in the last round, but he disappeared after making a double ghost on the first hole.
