(Reuters) -Rory McIlroy said on Wednesday he was surprised at how his Masters victory, which ended years of heartbreak and made him only the sixth man to complete the career Grand Slam of golf's four majors, resonated with so many others.
McIlroy overcame a late collapse during the final round of the Masters 10 days ago before prevailing in a sudden-death playoff that ended his 11-year wait to join golf's most exclusive club.
