Rory McIlroy won his first Masters on Sunday and did it in dramatic fashion as he rebounded from some late struggles and closed it out with a short birdie putt on the first playoff hole. McIlory had a chance to get the victory on the last hole before the playoff but he missed his short par putt on 18.

That may not be exactly how Rory McIlroy won The Masters and in the process joined the most rarified air that golf has to offer by way of the Career Grand Slam Club, but the way he did it was unique and enthralling.
