McIlroy joined Jack Nicklaus, Sir Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods as the only golfers to achieve this feat.

He held on for a one-shot victory over America's world number one Scottie Scheffler.

McIlroy reflected on the moment, saying the next best thing is having the chairman put it on.

He shared a touching exchange with Faldo, who left him a lovely note.

Donald Trump called Rory McIlroy a legend as he congratulated him on winning his second Masters title.

Trump wrote that Rory is becoming more and more a LEGEND.

He added a reference to the Cadillac Championship, expected to be McIlroy's next appearance.

The Irish Star noted that Trump had shamelessly tried to make himself the center of attention.
