Summary

Andy and Brendan! are back at the Draddy House in Augusta to recap one of the great days in golf history as Rory McIlroy completed the career slam by winning the 89th Masters in a playoff over Justin Rose. The two share their on-the-ground insight from Sunday, starting with the palpable buzz throughout the property at Augusta National this morning before the leaders teed off. They talk through some play-by-play of Rory's round, including memorable moments - both good and bad - at Nos. 1, 2, 10, 11, 13, 15, 17, and the two playings of No. 18. While Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Rose, and Ludvig Åberg are also discussed, this episode mainly focuses on Rory's historic victory and the end of his 11-year major drought.
