McIlroy's career grand slam-clinching campaign got even sweeter Sunday
Rory McIlroy had quite a homecoming on Sunday winning the 2025 Irish Open just under 2 hours from where he grew up in Northern Ireland. Draining a 28-foot eagle putt on the 72nd hole of regulation to force a playoff, the Ulsterman ultimately sealed his second victory at the Irish Open on the third extra hole of the tournament.
McIlroy edged Sweden's Joakim Lagergren, who went head-to-head with the career grand slam winner throughout the final round at the K Club in Straffan, County Kildare, Ireland.
"I just feel so lucky that I get to do this in front of these people, the support has been amazing all week," McIlroy said after raising the trophy. "So happy I could play the way I did this week and get the win."
