The green jacket is Rory McIlroy’s again. He won the Masters on Sunday by one shot, becoming the first back-to-back winner since Tiger Woods in 2001-02.

Rory McIlroy joined more elite company Sunday at the Masters when he pulled away with a pair of birdies around Amen Corner and, as usual, saved a little drama for the end before taking his place in Augusta National history as only the fourth back-to-back champion.

In a final round where three players had a two-shot lead, McIlroy seized control for good with a bold shot over Rae’s Creek to 7 feet for birdie on the par-3 12th.

Katie Boulter has never found her best form on clay, but she’s been handed a great chance to change that at the Open de Rouen.
She started her 2026 clay court campaign with a first-round exit at the Linz Open, so she’ll be looking to bounce back quickly.
After a strong start to the year that included a title win at the Ostrava Open, Boulter is closing in on a return to the top 50 of the WTA Tour rankings.
The next stop for her is Rouen, where another good run could help her climb even further up the rankings.
After 36 years at ESPN, announcer Mark Jones took the mic on Sunday for his final broadcast with the network, calling a season-finale matchup between the Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic.
Before tipoff, Jones was the subject of multiple tributes.
Jones joined the “Inside the NBA” pregame show, where he received a standing ovation from hosts Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal.

Augusta National has always had a way of pulling drama out of thin air on Sundays, and the 90th Masters was no exception.
For the second straight year, Rory McIlroy made the walk to Butler Cabin to slip on a Green Jacket after an impressive weekend at Augusta.
If there was any expectation that he might unravel after watching a six-shot lead disappear on Saturday, leaving him tied with Cameron Young entering the final round, it did not last long once Sunday began to unfold.
