The golf community took to social media Sunday evening to congratulate Rory McIlroy for winning the Masters for the first time.
McIlroy earned the green jacket and became just the sixth golfer to complete a career Grand Slam after beating Justin Rose in a playoff. The victory marked his fifth career golf major but his first since 2014.
The 35-year-old golfer from Northern Ireland shed tears after winning the elusive major, falling to the ground before making his rounds to his wife and then his daughter, who met him with a hug.
