Rory McIlroy won the 89th Masters Tournament in a one-hole playoff, his first major championship since 2014. Despite a shaky final round, McIlroy held on to earn his fifth major title and $4.2 million. He birdied the playoff hole while Justin Rose shot for par, securing the victory. Rose made a remarkable comeback, shooting a final-round 66 to tie with McIlroy at 11 under par. McIlroy’s day started poorly with a double bogey, but he made three birdies before a rough stretch of bogeys. However, he regained the lead with birdies on 15 and 17. This win marks the end of an 11-year major drought for McIlroy, who avoided a collapse similar to his 2011 Masters experience. The PGA Championship is the next major tournament on May 15 at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.
