More from McIlroy
Speaking about his win, McIlroy added: ‘I can’t believe I waited 17 years to get one green jacket and now I get two in a row. I think my perseverance at this tournament over the years has really started to pay off.
‘It was a tough weekend, I did the bulk of my work on Thursday and Friday but I managed to get it done.
‘Going into the tee with a two shot cushion instead of one like last year.
‘It was a good performance by me but I’m lucky no one really came at me either, not like Justin [Rose] did with his 66 last year.’
