RORY'S HOLEY GRAIL

The four that played a big part - good and bad - in Mcllroy's final round as he realised his lifetime dream

- BY PHIL CASEY

RORY MCILROY produced a mixture of the sublime and the ridiculous on his way to beating Justin Rose in a play-off to win the Masters and complete the career grand slam.

Here, we look at four key holes from Mcllroy’s final round of 73 at Augusta National.

7th (Pampas)

450 yards, par four

Mcllroy pulled his tee shot on the difficult seventh into the trees running down the left side of the hole but took on a dangerous escape shot up and over the tall pines and hit a stunning approach to eight feet.

"I knew where the pin was, I knew that the front bunker wasn't bad,” Mcllroy explained later.

"I could have chased it up into the front bunker but I saw a gap and I was like, 'I can actually get this on the green and, if it goes in that little bowl, it could go close'.
