Although he left the charge too late, Rory McIlroy still produced an unbelievable Sunday charge, with the 32-year-old shooting an eight-under-par final round for a runner-up finish, his best ever result at The Masters.

At one point, McIlroy was 13 shots back of eventual winner, Scottie Scheffler. However, a stupendous final round vaulted him from one-over-par to seven-under-par.

Paired with good friend, Collin Morikawa, both men produced fine final day performances, with the American constructing a five-under-par total that was the joint second best round of the day.

His round was three shots worse than his playing partner, McIlroy. However, the pair were a combined 13-under-par! with McIlroy explaining: "That's what makes golf so cool.
