Ranking Rory McIlroy's Best Shots From His Masters Win

Rory put on a show at Augusta National—good and bad. But today, let's focus on the good.

I woke up this morning and all of it was real. Rory McIlroy is a Masters champion and the sixth player in history to win the Career Grand Slam. Truly one of the best golfers to ever touch a club.

And he put on a show at Augusta National—good and bad. But today, we’re going to focus on the good.

Let’s rank some of Rory’s best shots from his win among the Georgia Pines.

Rory McIlroy’s Best Shots at the Masters

9. Second Round, Second Shot, 10th Hole

This shot felt like the start of his come back from his nightmare finish on Thursday. This shot gave Rory his swagger back.

8. Second Round, Second Shot, 11th Hole

Right after stuffing it on 10, he attacked a front-left pin on 11. That's not something a lot of the guys out there have the confidence to do. An absolute dart.

7. Second Round, Second Shot, 14th Hole

Rory hit a few incredible recovery shots from the Georgia Pines this week, and this was one of his best. Just didn't hit the putt.

6. Third Round, Third Shot, 2nd Hole

Birdieing the first Saturday was a great start, but this chip put the entire property on notice. Rory was comin'.

5. Second Round, Second Shot, 13th Hole

This shot was absurd. I thought it was in the water. So did Rory. Just an unreal eagle.

4. Final Round, Second Shot, 7th Hole

Another unbelievable recovery shot from the trees. When this happened, I said it was one of the best shots I've ever seen and still agree almost 24-hours later.

3. Third Round, Second Shot, 15th Hole

Rory did the Tiger 14 years later. So much swagger.

2. Final Round, Second Shot, 15th Hole

He did it again on Sunday and this one was even better. Massive hook under and around a tree to just a few feet. When we look back at this Masters, this is the shot everyone will remember.

1. Final Round, Third Shot, Playoff

He won the Masters and Career Grand Slam with this putt, it had to be No. 1.
