(Reuters) -Rory McIlroy waited more than a decade to win his fifth major but putting coach Brad Faxon said his triumph at the Masters on Sunday will give the Northern Irishman a platform to kick on and win five more.

McIlroy beat England's Justin Rose in a sudden-death playoff at Augusta National to join Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan and Gary Player as the only players to complete the career Grand Slam in men's golf.
