Rory McIlroy's become only the fourth golfer to retain the Masters title after winning by one shot. The defending champion carded a final round 71 to finish on 12 under-par - just ahead of world number one Scottie Scheffler at Augusta. He follows in the footsteps of Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods in securing green jackets in back-to-back years. Last year's runner-up Justin Rose was part of a group, including fellow Englishman Tyrrell Hatton, a stroke further back.
