"I can't believe that I waited 17 years to get one green jacket, and I get two in a row. I think that all of my perseverance at this golf tournament over the years has really started to pay off."
"McIlroy began the final round tied for the 54-hole lead at 11 under with Young, who birdied the second hole to reach 12 under and take the outright lead."
"It appeared that McIlroy's repeat quest might unravel when he went three over on the two par-threes on the front nine to fall to 9 under for the tournament."
"This is when McIlroy kicked it back into gear for the first time since closing with six birdies over his final seven holes on Friday."
Rory McIlroy won the 90th Masters Tournament, becoming the first player since Tiger Woods to win consecutive titles at Augusta National. He rallied from a three-shot deficit, finishing with a one-under-par round of 71 for a total score of 12-under 276. McIlroy's victory marks his sixth major title, tying him with Nick Faldo for the most by a European player. He started the final round tied for the lead but faced challenges on the front nine before regaining momentum to secure the win.
