Masters champion tells rivals he feels 'freed up' to win again
Rory McIlroy has warned the members of Augusta National that they will have to "wheel me out of here when I am 90 years old" after finally ending his wait to win the Masters.
In doing so, McIlroy became just the sixth golfer in history to complete a career grand slam.
McIlroy has told his fellow professionals that he already feels perfectly placed for more major wins after adding a fifth to his CV.
The Northern Irishman's playoff win over Justin Rose preceded a reception with those who run the tournament. "I said I will be going to that champions dinner every Tuesday night and they are going to have to wheel me out of here when I am 90 years old," he said. His victory earns him a lifetime Masters exemption.
