Nobody covers The Masters and yesterday's box scores quite like MNST!! Rory McIlroy had to wait more than a decade to win the Masters and complete the career Grand Slam. He had to wait only a year to take home a second green jacket. After squandering a record six-stroke lead in Saturday's third round, McIlroy briefly lost the lead again Sunday before taking control on the second nine at Augusta National to become the first back-to-back Masters champion since Tiger Woods in 2001-02 and the fourth overall (Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo).
