On his 11th attempt Rory McIlroy finally won the Masters and a career Grand Slam, sealing his place in golfing history as only the sixth man to achieve that feat. Of course he did it the hard way and the tension almost killed us - a sudden-death play-off and the most double bogeys of any Masters champion - but as Rory sunk to his knees it was clear this was a moment of sporting history. We relive that moment with broadcaster and co-host of The Chipping Forecast podcast, Andrew Cotter. (13:07)
Psychologically, how did he deal with that many years worth of pressure? What techniques will he have used after putting it in the water on 13? And why didn't he speak to rival Bryson DeChambeau? We speak to golf psychologist Jon Adler. (27:53)
Actor James Nesbitt tells us what this victory means for Northern Ireland. (40:53)
And we go back to his roots, speaking to Ciaran Lavery, Head Golf Pro at Holywood Golf Club, Rory's club in Northern Ireland. (42:50)
