Mcilroy’s final round was filled with tons of drama from beginning to end, and reached its highest point when he entered the putt in his 72 hole in the tournament. He needed a pair to finish at 12 low to beat Rose, who drained a deep Birdie putt in the same green a few minutes before finishing 11 bass for the tournament.

The Putt stayed, and customers could not believe it, since a playoff was needed to see who would be equipped for a green jacket in Butler Cabin.

Rose was arriving at the tournament practice pending the potential of the playoff of the first death Masters since 2017, of which he was part. He ended up losing to Sergio García to lose his green jacket.

He quickly jumped to a golf cart after Mcilroy had lost the Putt pair and went to 18 ° Tee Box to meet the Northern Irish, who had to do it again.

Rose and Mcilroy found the street with their tee shots, with the first one first with their focus. And he exerted a tremendous pressure on Mcilroy, while Rose bounced on the ball near the hole and diverted a little while dripping.

Mcilroy, who hit his approach to the right Greenside bunker, got the baby’s draw he wanted this time, and used the slope to turn the ball back to two feet.

Rose still had a big look at Birdie and took her time reading the putt. He gave him a good trip, but he broke too much to the right, and cleaned for the pair.

Therefore, Mcilroy had another opportunity to finally ensure what he has been looking for since his illustrious golf career began. Mcilroy, who never takes a practice putt, walked to his ball, looked at the hole and put the perfect blow this time.

Customers entered a frenzy when Mcilroy fell on his knees and began to cry, since the dream and goal finally became a reality.

Rose finished second after loading a final round of 66, while Patrick Reed (9 bass), Scottie Scheffler (8 -under) and Bryson Dechambeau and Sungjae im (7 under each) completed the first five in the classification table of the masters.

A drama was expected in this final round on Sunday, but perhaps nobody expected it to be one of the most upward finals in the history of this great tournament.

It happened immediately in the first hole when Mcilroy speech the opening hole twice after a whore of three. His exit blow needed only one more patio to navigate on the right street bunker, but landed in the sand, forcing a tray. Then, his approach shot was too deep, causing a long putt even would not go.

But even more overwhelming for the man who was driving at 12 and to start the round he lacked his Putt Fogey, causing a two -stroke swing. Dechambeau would be Birdie after sending his exit blow to the left. Then, in an instant, Dechambeau and Mcilory were tied to 10 low heading to the second second torque score.

Once again, Mcilroy’s coup could not clear the right street bunker, while Dechambeau had an excellent look at an approach to the second green. Mcilroy lay down and had a poor approach, which made him a hard look. He would sink his putt par to leave his score at 10 bass, but Dechambeau took the only advantage at 11 bass after hitting his putt Birdie.

However, the score swing was not even close.

The third hole presented a quick change for Mcilroy, who saw a Putt Birdie go from left to right and hold on to go back, while the rescue of Dechambeau did not have the right line. He had to settle for a ghost and Mcilroy once again he owned the advantage.

Then, the fourth hole, a torque 3 of 232 yards, saw Mcilroy marked with his iron shot that landed less than 10 feet of the hole for a solid look of Birdie. Dechambeau drew too much and could not bring his long Putt Birdie closer for another pair jump. He dropped another Bogey, while Mcilroy landed consecutive Birdies to return to 12 bass, possess an advantage of three times after four holes.

In general, there were three changes of two shots in the first four holes.

Mcilroy stayed in a uniform keel after returning at 12 bass, shooting at the same time in his next four holes before taking a four -stroke advantage over Dechambeau, Ludvig Åberg and Rose, who BIRCOS four times during a six -hole section to return to the race at 9 bass, after a birding of the ninth hole.

The second nine began clean for Mcilroy, which poured another Putt Birdie to go to 14 bass. He did not seem that he had an opportunity for Birdie after leaving his club immediately after the contact in his second from the street, but returned to Green in the way he wanted.

Meanwhile, the second nine of Dechambeau was a disaster like the infamous “corner of Amen”, or holes 11, 12 and 13, ate it. He began with a big mistake when reaching his focus on number 11 to the water next to the Green.

It would fall to 7 -und with a double bogey after trying to save the hole, and things got worse when you could not guide your putt even in 12th place, which always proves to be a problem for the players. Dechambeau began the day at 10 bass, but 6 bass was found, seven shots of Mcilroy leadership at that time, addressing hole 13.

The 13 hole saw Mcilroy playing safe, as he should have done it with the leadership he had at that time. But his third shot, a short launch that should have been routine, proved to be disastrous when he hit him too much to the right and entered the water. Mcilroy could not hit his Putt Fogey after making the field again, and fell to 11 bass.

In Green 16, Rose opened her tremendous t -shirt to reach 11 bass, and the film that was developing in Augusta National reached the maximum tension.

Mcilroy lost his leadership after Bogeye on the 14th to fall to 10 bass, since Rose had the direct advantage when he entered his putt even in Hole 17. But he pulled him to the left, leaving a three -way tie in 10 bass between Mcilroy, Rose and Åberg.

However, the climax of this film was provided by the seven Iron of Mcilroy from 207 yards, needing a folder from right to left to take the pond against the 15th green. He executed the shot with precision, while the customers around roared with the ball approaching Green for an eagle putt.

Mcilroy did not succeed after hitting him to the left, but made Birdie take the lead once more. But like any movie, climax only leads to the end, and it was an incredible ending.

In Green 18, Rose had a last Birdie in him, sinking a deep putt to sit tied for the co-leader with Mcilroy at 11 bass. He would go to the Club house and look with breathing contained to see how the golfers would end behind him. Ended with a final round 66.

Mcilroy had a great look at number 16 after a big blow of Tee, but never retired, and was tied with Rose at 11 bass. Therefore, there were two more holes for Mcilroy, who needed a birdie or better to win it.
