Rory McIlroy's Home Club Celebrates Star's Masters Win to Secure Grand Slam on Video

Fans at Holywood Golf Club in Northern Ireland were on pins and needles as they watched native son Rory McIlroy finally win the Masters.

McIlroy's home club staged a viewing party for the event, and the reaction was jubilation when he sank the putt that secured his green jacket:

As the final round unfolded, the 2025 Masters were shaping up to be McIlroy's biggest heartbreak yet.

A bogey on the 11th hole and a double bogey on No. 13 nearly erased what had been a four-shot cushion on the next-closest challengers. McIlroy quickly rebounded and put himself in a position to win the tournament as long as he earned a par on No. 18.

The 35-year-old promptly deposited his approach into the bunker and then watched his par putt roll to the left of the cup to set up a playoff with Justin Rose.

McIlroy's near-collapse only added to the palpable sense of relief when he put Rose away on the first playoff hole. Once his putt landed, he flung his putter backward and fell to the green, overcome with emotion.

One can only imagine the roller coaster the fans at Holywood Golf Club were experiencing as the drama unfolded.
