Rory's grand slam very tasty after Rose dinner
Birmingham Mail
|April 15, 2025
TWO days before the start of the 89th Masters, Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose were invited to dinner by a few members of Augusta National.
Next year Mcllroy will have some-where else to be on a Tuesday even-ing in early April, namely at the Champions Dinner, following the almost indescribable victory which made him just the sixth player to win a career grand slam.
“It’s ironic how these things hap-pen,” said Mcllroy after making a birdie at the first extra hole to secure a coveted green jacket, inflicting a sec-ond Masters play-off loss on the unfortunate Rose.
“We were invited to a dinner by a few members of the club on Tuesday night, and we were the only two players at that table, and we are the ones that end up being in the play-off. It's funny how these things work.
"Justin is a great champion. And I remember watching the play-off in '17 when he went up against Sergio (Garcia), and that didn't quite go his way either.
