Transcript

Rory looking to go even deeper into Augusta lore. A long way to go still. Oh, wow. It was on the right side of that bunker. Birdie for Rory. Two in front. Bottom of the cup for McElroy. Tough first nine, and then all of a sudden, birdies 12, and then that one at 13. That is brilliant. Uh-oh. This is trouble. Gosh. She's taking us on a couple roller coaster rides. And here we go. Rory is a rare repeat winner at at Augusta. I'm so honored and so thrilled to be able to win this tournament for a second tier, And I can't wait to come back next year in 2027 and for many, many years to come.
