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)
