The final round of the Masters 2025 was nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, filled with drama, heartbreak, and ultimately, triumph. Rory McIlroy, the Northern Irish golfing sensation, etched his name into history by claiming the elusive green jacket and completing the career Grand Slam—a feat achieved by only six players in golf history.

The Highs: McIlroy’s journey to victory was marked by moments of brilliance. His approach shot on the playoff hole against Justin Rose was nothing short of spectacular, landing just three feet from the pin and setting up the winning birdie. Earlier in the round, his birdies on the 15th and 17th holes showcased his resilience and ability to bounce back under pressure. The crowd at Augusta National witnessed McIlroy’s mastery as he navigated the course with precision and determination.

The Lows: The day wasn’t without its challenges. McIlroy opened the round with a double bogey on the first hole, immediately putting his lead at risk. Later, a double bogey on the 13th hole and missed opportunities on the greens threatened to derail his quest for the green jacket. These moments of adversity tested McIlroy’s mental fortitude, but he managed to stay focused and fight back.

The Success Story: After an 11-year drought in major championships, McIlroy’s victory at the Masters was a testament to his perseverance and resilience. Overcoming past heartbreaks and near-misses, he finally conquered Augusta National, silencing the doubts and proving his mettle as one of the greatest golfers of his generation. His emotional reaction on the 18th green, dropping to his knees in tears, captured the significance of this career-defining moment.

Rory McIlroy’s triumph at the Masters 2025 is more than just a victory; it’s a story of redemption, determination, and the relentless pursuit of greatness. As he dons the green jacket and joins the elite club of Grand Slam champions, McIlroy’s legacy in the world of golf is forever cemented.

Masters 2025 – Round 2 Update [165.39 KB]

The tournament began today, with defending champion Scottie Scheffler leading a star-studded field. Canadian golfers had mixed performances in the first round: Corey Conners impressed with a solid start, finishing under par and positioning himself well on the leaderboard. Nick Taylor and Taylor Pendrith faced challenges on the course, ending their rounds over par. Mike Weir, a Masters legend, showed resilience but struggled to keep pace with the younger competitors. The stage is set for an exciting weekend as players, including these Canadians, vie for the green jacket.

Justin Rose is currently 3 strokes up with a well played -7 first round with Conners, Scheffler and Aberg only 3 shots behind. Rory started the day pretty strong but faltered late to drop back to even on the day.

Sorry for the delay on the post, and might be a bit of a delay tomorrow as our member who puts this together will actually be in attendance! Lucky guy… we swear he didn’t take the pool money to pay for it 😉

Despite what was mostly an anti-climatic finish, the final round of the Masters did not disappoint. 4 players fought hard for the top spot for a good portion of the day, but it was Scottie Scheffler who made a spectacular approach on the 9th after what was a pretty abysmal start (by his standards) that effectively set the tone for the rest of the round.

Ludvig Aberg, in his first Masters appearance, kept creeping near Scottie, though a mistake on 11 putting his second into the water mostly spelled the end of his round. Despite finishing with a couple birdies after that, there was just no competition for Scheffler.

We will have a final post later regarding the closure of the pool, including the final winners once the actual prize monies are finalized. Thanks again to everyone for their participation and we will remind you all again as well about or upcoming 10th year anniversary golf tournament on July 13th.
