mcilroy completes grand slam
Posted on
Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy became only the sixth player to complete the career Grand Slam of victories in each of the four major male golf tournaments after beating England's Justin Rose in a play-off to win The Masters at Augusta in Georgia, USA.
McIlroy missed a short putt on the final hole to win in regulation, but his birdie on the first extra hole completed the set of Open, USA Open, US PGA & Masters titles. McIlroy is the first European to achieve the feat, joining Americans Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, plus South Africa's Gary Player, in the exclusive club.
