McIlroy holds nerve to win second successive Masters
A surefire sign of a sports star who wants to achieve true greatness is the ability to recalibrate, realign and reach their next goal.
Jack Nicklaus had that quality. Tiger Woods also had it.
Rory McIlroy is highly unlikely to reach the same number of major wins as the two finest golfers to have ever picked up a club but, after becoming only the fourth player to successfully defend the Masters title, he has shown he has the same ability to chase down new targets.
Last year at Augusta National, McIlroy also earned his place in history as the sixth man to sweep the board at the four major tournaments - the Masters, US PGA Championship, the Open Championship and the US Open.
