Fans, social media reacts to Rory McIlroy winning the 2025 Masters at Augusta National

[ASFN Admin]

Before the start of Sunday's final round at the 2025 Masters, the buzz around Augusta National was in the air.

Would Rory McIlroy, who started the final round with a two-shot lead over Bryson DeChambeau, finally win the green jacket and complete the career Grand Slam, or, as he did at the 2024 U.S. Open, would DeChambeau deny McIlroy and win another major?

At the same time, Scottie Scheffler, Ludvig Aberg, Justin Rose, Corey Conners, Patrick Reed and a host of world-class players were not giving up and were hunting both McIlroy and DeChambeau.

In the end, it was McIlroy (finally!) in a playoff over Rose as the sun set into the western sky and, as you'd expect, social media lit up immediately.

Here's what people had to say about the final round of the 2025 Masters.

You could just see the Augusta demons leaving Rory when that putt went in. What an unbelievable roller coaster of emotions - pure sport at its best. But history has been made and Rory has joined golf’s most elite by completing The Grand Slam. The green jacket is finally his.…

Tremendous stuff!!!! Rory!!!! Didn’t think he could do it. The bogey on 18 seemed too crushing. That’s one of the 5 best Masters of my lifetime.
