A record $21 million was on the line at the 89th Masters with a massive sum being awarded to McIlroy as he slipped on the green jacket Sunday afternoon

The greatest battles Rory McIlroy has fought over the last 10 years have been with himself. This was never going to end any other way. At times on Sunday, it seemed like the only thing standing between McIlroy and victory was the space between his ears.

After years of collapses and failures, Rory McIlroy finally got his green jacket. While it looked like things would once again end in tragedy multiple times, McIlroy cast his demons aside to win the Masters for the first time, and pick up a career grand slam in the process.
