Jamie

you always thought that the Grand Slam was the destination, and then you realized it wasn't.

Where do you view yourself in the pantheon of the all-time greats?

What is left for Rory McIlroy to achieve?

Do the Grand Slam twice?

Win a Ryder Cup in Ireland?

Three-peat next year?

I always finish this interview every year by giving the champion a chance to sign the Masters flag, and quite often it's the first time.

You've signed about 100,000 of these over the last 12 months.

But here you go, signing the 2026 one, perhaps for the first time.

There you go, Rory McIlroy, back-to-back Masters champion.

Thank you very much.

Something that never gets tired.

There he is.

Yeah, great to get Rory's thoughts.

And gents, let's move on to Justin Rose, who Rory just referenced in that interview, saying that he is his inspiration.

He looks at Justin Rose and thinks, there's no reason why I can't be doing that at 45 as well.

And your heart went out to Rosie yesterday because leading by two, starting the second nine, he'll rue the mistakes on 11 and 12.

But, Beemer, what more can you say about Justin Rose?

The guy at 45 still feels he can keep on improving, and I think he had prepared with this Masters in mind.

All of 2026 had been singularly preparing for this tournament.
