It’s tough to top Sunday at The Masters, as golf fans everywhere enjoy settling into their favorite chair or couch and watching the hours of drama unfold as we crown a new champion and wearer of the coveted green jacket.
Rory McIlroy went into the weekend with a six-shot lead — the biggest ever through 36 holes at The Masters — and while he ended up losing that lead on Sunday, he eventually got it back and hung on to win by two shots. McIlroy became the fourth back-to-back winner at Augusta, and the first since Tiger Woods in 2001-02.
