Episode 3222: The Drought Is Over, The Grand Slam Secured, Long Live Rory McIlroy
After what must surely have been one of the most amazing days of sport any of us has ever seen, Rory McIlroy did what it often seemed he never would: won at Augusta and joined the very, very short list of golfers who’ve won a career Grand Slam. And he did it in the most ‘Rory McIlroy at The Masters’ way imaginable.
We’re joined in studio by Malachy Clerkin of the Irish Times and Gavin Cooney of the 42.ie to breathe it all in, to bask in it, and to relive it less than twelve hours later.
Plus there’s Jim Nantz’s Crying Game, Lawrence Donegan the oracle, and where Rory goes from here.
