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.
