Rory McIlroy won back-to-back Masters green jackets with another successful outing at Augusta National this weekend.

Rory McIlroy became the latest golfer to win back-to-back Masters tournaments, and getting presented with the prestigious green jacket for the second consecutive year. He joins an exclusive club , becoming one of four golfers to win back-to-back Masters tournaments along with Jack Nicklaus (1965-66), Nick Faldo (1989-90) and Tiger Woods (2001-02). "My parting message last year was, I can't wait to come back next year and put the green jacket on myself," McIlroy said jokingly.

"I wasn't quite correct, because the chairman did it, but I did want to come back here and prove last year wasn't a fluke. It is an absolutely incredible golf tournament. " McIlroy delivered a promising start to the event but had to overcome a series of hiccups through the final two days.

He managed to overcome a slow start on Saturday, briefly giving up the lead before rallying back from a three-shot deficit when it counted during the middle of the round. He finished the tournament at 12-under for the weekend. "It felt pretty similar to last (year's final round)," McIlroy told Jim Nantz of CBS Sports after the victory.

"... after that, I played flawlessly. " As a result, McIlroy was presented with the green jacket by Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley during a ceremony that followed his postgame interview with Nantz.
