Rory McIlroy has made a victorious return to Northern Ireland following his recent Masters title win at Augusta. A private jet landed at George Best Belfast City Airport on Friday. McIlroy completed the Grand Slam in golf on Sunday, winning in a dramatic playoff. His passion for the sport grew from his father. He turned professional in 2007 and has achieved multiple major wins since then.

McIlroy was schooled in Holywood and his local course is on the slopes of the Holywood hills. This achievement marks a significant milestone in his career.
