He rounded it off, of course, with the fourth in terms of this grand slam but the fifth major title feeling.  A master champion today declaring value the weight follows the Open Championship, the US Open, and the PGA Championship.  It was lengthy.  It was excruciating.  

More than a decade since his last major victory, the 35-year-old from Northern Ireland overcame a shaky start, a double bogey at the first and an even more perilous finish in the final round of this, the Masters Tournament on Sunday to defeat Justin Rose in the first hole of a sudden death playoff to finally win the elusive green jacket and become only the sixth golfer to complete the Congreir Grand Slam.   

He joins the ranks of Gene Sarazin, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and of course, Tiger Woods, the only players to win the four Mesa championships in this Masters era.  Rory, of course, finished the putt on 18 as the sun was sinking in Augusta, Georgia, to cap off a fantastic, roller coaster ride of a final round, giving up the lead on the second hole to Bryson DeChambeau.  

Eventually tying him with the lead with Justin Rose at that time, it was a double bogey seven on the 13th hole at Amen Corner.  He finally regained the lead after losing it.  On the way in on the second nine at 15, a seven iron from 207, he hit some amazing shots.  Suck it to roughly 15 feet, missed the eagle, scored a birdie.  Beautiful eight iron on 17 as well.  There was the birdie, but a bogey on 18 sealed the playoff with Justin Rose, who played a 66 in the last round to make his way.

Many undoubtedly remember back to the U.S. Open from last year.  Two short putts at that major event at Pinehurst in North Carolina let Bryson DeChambeau take the lead; he finally went on to win that title.  From front office Sports, he was in the last group with Rory today.  At 18 years old, Rory mcelroy went professional.
