The Northern Ireland star, who had come up empty at Augusta National in 10 prior attempts to complete his collection of all four majors, birdied the first hole of a sudden death playoff as Rose settled for par.

The emotional triumph followed an agonizing bogey at the 72nd hole that dropped McIlroy into the playoff.
