The 2025 Masters is going to be remembered for a long, long time.
Rory McIlroy survived a roller coaster round before topping Justin Rose on the first playoff hole to win the green jacket and complete the career grand slam. It's his fifth major title, first since the PGA Championship in 2014, and cements him in the annals as one of the greatest golfers of all-time.
The young prodigy from Holywood, Northern Ireland, had plenty of support from back home, too.
McIlroy's win happened just after 7 p.m. local time at Augusta National Golf Club, but it was after midnight at his home club, Holywood Golf Club, when he sank the winning birdie putt. And members and friends at his club went berserk with an awesome reaction.

McIlroy is the first Masters winner from Northern Ireland and first Masters champion to win with four double bogeys on the week.
After winning, McIlroy said he was excited to get to go home and celebrate. Home is ready to celebrate with him.
