Rory McIlroy clinched his second straight Masters title, edging Scottie Scheffler by one stroke to reclaim the green jacket. The defending champion arrived at Augusta with a record lead into Saturday but faced late drama, briefly falling behind twice — first to playing partner Cameron Young and then to Justin Rose. A strong back nine, highlighted by birdies at Nos. 12 and 13, gave McIlroy the cushion he needed, and he held steady on the 18th to secure his sixth major championship.
McIlroy becomes the first golfer since Tiger Woods (2001–02) to win consecutive Masters tournaments and only the fourth player in history to do so, joining Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Nick Faldo. Jim Axelrod, CBS News, Augusta.
