Rory McIlroy won the 89th Masters Tournament in a one-hole playoff, earning his fifth major championship and ending an 11-year major championship drought. He held off Justin Rose, who shot a final-round 66 to tie with McIlroy at 11 under par. Despite a shaky start with a double bogey on the first hole, McIlroy was able to regain the lead with birdies on holes 15 and 17. The victory gives McIlroy his first major championship since 2014 and a $4.2 million payday. The dramatic finish was reminiscent of McIlroy’s collapse at the 2011 Masters, but he managed to hold on for the win this time. The next major in golf is the PGA Championship beginning on May 15 at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.
