Major Championship - Masters Tournament      

Rory McIlroy has finally achieved his long-sought career Grand Slam, winning the 89th Masters Tournament in a thrilling playoff at Augusta National. The Northern Irishman’s victory followed a rollercoaster final round that saw him battle nerves, blunders, and a surging Justin Rose.  

McIlroy, 35, started the day with a two-stroke lead, but a double bogey on the first hole quickly erased that advantage. He rallied with birdies, building a four-stroke lead on the back nine, only to see it evaporate with a double bogey at the 13th and a bogey at the 14th. Rose, meanwhile, delivered a stunning 66, including birdies through Amen Corner, forcing a playoff.

On the 18th hole, McIlroy’s wedge shot to four feet secured the victory after Rose missed his birdie attempt. Overwhelmed with emotion, McIlroy, who has endured years of scrutiny in his quest for a Green Jacket, dropped to his knees in tears, finally achieving a feat only five other golfing legends have accomplished: winning all four modern major championships.  

“Just a complete rollercoaster of emotions today,” said McIlroy, reflecting on the decade-long pursuit. “What came out of me on the last green there in the playoff was at least 11 years, if not 14 years, of pent-up emotion.”

The victory marked McIlroy’s first major championship since 2014, solidifying his place amongst golf’s elite. Despite the dramatic twists and turns of the final round, McIlroy’s resilience and determination ultimately prevailed, fulfilling a lifelong dream.

Japan Golf Tour - Token Homemate Cup

Tatsunori Shogenji has claimed his first Japan Golf Tour Organisation (JGTO) victory at the weather-affected Token Homemate Cup.  His impressive 14-under-par total of 199, achieved over three rounds, proved decisive after heavy rainfall forced the cancellation of the final round at Token Tado Country Club.

The 26-year-old had established a three-shot lead with a five-under-par 66 in the third round, but unplayable course conditions prevented any further play.  Despite the shortened tournament, Shogenji, who finished runner-up at the same event last year, expressed his delight at securing the win.  His consistent performance, with only two dropped shots over 54 holes, validated his hard work and resilience.

“I’m just really happy to have finally won. Even though I didn’t play today, everyone congratulated me and I feel like I’ve truly arrived,” said Shogenji.  He also highlighted the significance of the victory in boosting his confidence, particularly after a series of near-misses in previous tournaments.

Gira de Golf Professional Mexicana - El Campanario Classic        

José de Jesús "Camarón" Rodríguez has emerged victorious at the El Campanario Classic, the penultimate stage of the 2024-25 Mexican Professional Tour (GPM). The event marked the tour's return to El Campanario Residencial & Golf in Querétaro after a two-year absence.

Despite a less than stellar final round, Rodríguez managed to maintain his lead, carding a 70. This victory ends a year and three-month title drought for Rodríguez on the GPM tour.

"Today, I didn't hit the ball very well, but we managed to capitalise on the opportunities we had," Rodríguez commented. "There were a few errors, shots I shouldn't have taken, but I remained patient, and in the end, we secured the title."

Italian golfer Renato Paratore has clinched his first HotelPlanner Tour victory at the UAE Challenge, held at Al Zorah Golf & Yacht Club. A stellar final round of 65, seven under par, propelled him to a winning total of 22 under par, securing a two-stroke victory over South African JC Ritchie.

Paratore, trailing by one shot at the start of the final day, quickly surged ahead with three birdies and an eagle in his opening five holes. He maintained his momentum with two more birdies on the back nine, ultimately parring the remaining holes to seal the win.

"The feeling is great," Paratore remarked, highlighting his focus and exceptional putting throughout the week. This victory marks his first win since the 2020 Betfred British Masters on the DP World Tour.
