Rory McIlroy edged Justin Rose in a playoff to capture his first green jacket 14 years after leading in the fourth round at Augusta National

Rory McIlroy beat Justin Rose in a dramatic sudden-death playoff to win his first Masters title and become just the sixth man in history to achieve the career Grand Slam. McIlroy had allowed a four-shot lead to evaporate on the back nine as Englishman Rose sensationally moved back into contention.

McIlroy needed 73 roller-coaster holes, but it doesn't matter now. By winning his first Masters, he now is part of golf's most exclusive club.
