Rory McIlroy's final round and his play-off win at the Masters was a rollercoaster, full of huge highs and cavernous lows - an apt way at an apt venue to complete his golfing destiny.
McIlroy's hunt for majors has been filled with displays of brilliance and gut- wrenching body blows as time and again he got his heart broken as he searched for golfing immortality.
His eventual play-off victory over Justin Rose capped a day that served as a microcosm of his 11-year wait for a fifth major as he mixed in some box office Hollywood shots with some Holywood schoolboy errors that kept everyone watching on the edge of their seats.
But we should not really be surprised that he put himself and his fans through the wringer because he has been doing that ever since his first Masters meltdown in 2011.
So, to complete the Grand Slam at Augusta National, 14 years after, was a great full circle moment, as years of resilience and perseverance finally paid off.
And all that heartache just made this victory all the sweeter.
McIlroy's magnificent five major wins
2011 US Open
McIlroy showcased his resilience in his maiden major victory because it came just two months after that epic Masters meltdown. He went to Congressional Golf Club in Maryland and absolutely hammered the field with a dominance only really seen with Tiger Woods.
While lapping the field McIlroy set 11 US Open records at the weekend with an outrageous display of ball striking that saw him win traditionally the toughest of the majors by eight shots on 16 under par.
2012 US PGA Championship
McIlroy broke new ground again at Kiawah Island when he shot 66 on Sunday to win the US PGA Championship by a record eight shots.
At 23 years and three months McIlroy became the youngest multiple major champion since Seve Ballesteros won the Masters in 1980 and the sixth youngest overall.
2014 Open Championship
This was the year McIlroy really showed us all what he could do, starting at Royal Liverpool when he claimed the Open Championship with a wire-to-wire victory, finishing two strokes ahead of Sergio Garcia and Rickie Fowler.
He joined Tiger Woods as the only players to win the Silver Medal as best amateur at the Open and the Claret Jug itself - just one of many similarities people were noticing between the two.
