“I’m immensely proud of myself,” McIlroy said. “To sit here, 25 years of age, and win my third major championship and be three-quarters of the way to a career Grand Slam … yeah, I never dreamed of being at this point in my career so quickly.”

The Ulsterman joined Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus as the only golfers to achieve this milestone to win three major victories by the age of 25.
