Rory McIlroy ended his major drought in barely-believable fashion by beating Justin Rose in a play-off to win the 89th Masters and complete the career grand slam.

McIlroy birdied the first extra hole after the pair had finished tied on 11 under par following an extraordinary final round.

On his 11th attempt to join golf’s most exclusive club and 3,900 days after his last major victory in the 2014 US PGA, McIlroy almost threw away a five-shot lead before claiming a coveted green jacket at a pulsating Augusta National.
