Rory McIlroy edged Justin Rose in a playoff to capture his first green jacket 14 years after leading in the fourth round at Augusta National

Rory McIlroy beat Justin Rose in a dramatic sudden-death playoff to win his first Masters title and become just the sixth man in history to achieve the career Grand Slam. McIlroy had allowed a four-shot lead to evaporate on the back nine as Englishman Rose sensationally moved back into contention.

The Mount Rushmore of golf now has six faces carved into granite, and for that Rory McIlroy should feel as though he achieved the highest pinnacle in golf. But there is so much more ahead for McIlroy.
