It actually happened. After years of heartbreak, near-misses, and Augusta agony, Rory McIlroy is finally a Masters champion. With that win, he becomes just the sixth player in history to complete the career Grand Slam. Naturally, the world exploded with reactions.

“My dreams have been made today.” -Rory Mcilroy

“I'm not going to compare it to life moments like a marriage or having a child. But it's the best day of my golfing life. I’m very proud of myself. I'm proud of never giving up. I'm proud of how I kept coming back and dusting myself off and not letting the disappointments really get to me.” -Rory Mcilroy

"The past two majors I've played, I've finished in second place, and it's more evidence that I'm doing some really good work," he said, via BBC. "At Royal Troon and again here at the Masters, when it gets to the real business end I feel like I'm really calm and ready for it, which again I'm proud of but it does hurt."
- Justin Rose
