The greatest battles Rory McIlroy has fought over the last 10 years have been with himself. This was never going to end any other way. At times on Sunday, it seemed like the only thing standing between McIlroy and victory was the space between his ears.

Rory McIlroy’s win at the Masters was a lot of things. His first green jacket. His first major in more than a decade. The completion of the career Grand Slam. One of the most popular wins in the history of the tournament.

McIlroy survived a chaotic finish and beat out Justin Rose in a playoff to grab his first career win at the Masters and complete the career grand slam. His final putt sent him into an emotional whirlwind on the green after he tapped in a 4-foot putt for the win. "The long journey is over! McIlroy has his masterpiece." pic.twitter.com/X8LyQrJQr7
