Rory McIlroy shared an emotional embrace with wife Erica Stoll after finally winning the Masters for the first time.
The Northern Irishman has struggled at Augusta over the years and had gone into the final day of the competition hoping to secure a first major since 2014.
That wait is over, however, with McIlroy able to fend off competition from Justin Rose to complete the career Grand Slam.
The Briton was emotional in the immediate aftermath of his triumph, with McIlroy breaking down in tears.
And the golfer immediately went to wife Erica, with the couple sharing a sweet embrace with the eyes of the world watching on.
Last year, McIlroy filed for divorce from his other half.
But the couple then announced that they'd reconciled and resolved their differences, with their relationship now appearing to be stronger than ever.
McIlroy was also cheered on by the couple's four-year-old daughter, Poppy.
