McIlroy’s Historic Performance
After clinching his long-awaited green jacket and completing the career grand slam in 2025, Rory McIlroy is once again demonstrating his dominance at Augusta National. Following a strong start, the golfer surged ahead during Friday's action, establishing himself as the clear favorite to defend his title.
McIlroy carded an impressive 7-under par in the second round, highlighted by a remarkable streak where he went 6-under over just seven holes.

Notably, this is the largest 36-hole lead ever recorded in the history of The Masters.
