THE SPOILS: McIlroy won his sixth major championship and earned $4.5 million. He also gets to host the Masters Club dinner next year.

THE RUNNER-UP: Scottie Scheffler was 12 shots behind McIlroy going into the weekend. He shot 65-68 and finished one shot behind.

THE CONTENDERS: Justin Rose (70) and Cameron Young (73) each had two-shot leads at some point during the final round. They tied for third.

ELITE PERFORMANCE: Scheffler became the first player since 1942 to go bogey-free on the weekend at the Masters.

SHOT OF THE DAY: McIlroy hit 9-iron to 7 feet for birdie on the par-3 12th.
