Rory McIlroy just achieved a historic win at the US Masters golf tournament, taking the title for the second year in a row. He has turned one of golf’s longest running storylines into something else entirely. For so long, this place felt unresolved for him. His talent was never in doubt, and his dominance came in waves, but the majors (especially this one) kept slipping through his fingers. Near misses stacked up, Sundays tightened, and moments seemed to carry more weight than they should.

Then last year, it finally happened. The breakthrough and the release. The completion of the career Grand Slam after more than a decade of trying. A door that had been closed for years opened. And now a year later, he has walked straight back through it and slipped on a second Green Jacket. Afterwards, he said something extremely telling. He couldn’t believe he had waited 17 years for his first, and then he gets two in a row. Like London buses, you wait for ages, and then two come along at once.
