Successful major defences: McIlroy joins exclusive club

Rory McIlroy created more golfing history on Sunday as he recorded a stunning second consecutive Masters victory to join an exclusive list of successful major defences.

Brooks Koepka was the most recent player to achieve the feat when he made it back-to-back PGA Championship triumphs to become just the second player in the 21st century behind Tiger Woods to defend two different majors.
