Rory McIlroy won the Masters in a sudden-death playoff at Augusta National .

The Northern Irishman had a 5 -shot lead over Bryson DeChambeau in the final round.

He had a 126 -yard gap wedge high into the Augusta sky that settled four feet from the cup in a playoff with Justin Rose .

When the putt fell, McIlroy let out a primal scream, releasing the scar tissue of emotion that had built up over the last 11 years .

"There wasn't much joy in that reaction. It was all relief," he said. "I've been coming here 17 years , and it was a decade-plus of emotion".
