Let's finish off from the beautiful greens of the Augusta National Golf Course, where Rory McIlroy won the prestigious Masters tournament for a second consecutive year in Georgia, in the United States.
He waited for many years to get his hands on the famous green jacket.
And a year later, the Northern Irishman has gone back to back to become only the fourth player to successfully defend the Masters title.
Here he is speaking at the Champions Press Conference.
A sports correspondent, James Gregg, was right there on the 17th green nearby, watching all the drama and history unfold at Augusta.
And last year here, he joined the greats by completing the career Grand Slam.
And this time he's made even more history, as you mentioned as well, joining Nick Faldo, the great Tiger Woods and the legendary Jack Nicklaus as well to successfully defend back to back.
Awesome achievement.
He revealed that his menu for being the defending Masters champion will be a bit of local Georgia cuisine mixed in by some of his Irish heritage, Northern Irish heritage.
I wonder what he's going to do next year now.
He's got to get his thinking cap on.
I'll give you a quick rundown.
Bacon wrap dates, grilled elk sliders, rock shrimp tempura and peach and ricotta flatbread.
That's just the starters.
Also back home in Northern Ireland as well, in Hollywood, where he grew up and lovely pictures of the golf club there where he began his career as a young boy and all the support he still has there.
And those celebrations will continue long into the night, too.
