Rory McIlroy said he refuses to watch his emotional reaction to winning his first Masters Tournament and completing the career Grand Slam.

“I’ve tried not to watch it a lot because I want to remember the feelings and … I think when I re-watch a lot of things back, I then just remember of the visuals of the TV rather than what I was feeling and what I was seeing through my own eyes,’’ McIlroy said while addressing reporters on Wednesday (May 14) ahead of the first round of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow via the New York Post. “So, I haven’t tried to watch it back too much. But anytime I have, I well up. I still feel like I want to cry.’’

McIlroy, 36, said his reaction was "involuntary" and claimed to have "never felt a release like that before, and I might never feel a release like that again." The Masters championship win was his first major victory since winning The Open Championship in 2014.

"That could be a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and it was a very cool moment," McIlroy said. “Look, I have achieved everything that I’ve wanted. I’ve done everything I’ve wanted to do in the game. I dreamed as a child of becoming the best player in the world and winning all the majors. I’ve done that. Everything beyond this, for however long I decide to play the game competitively, is a bonus.’’

McIlroy is the sixth player to achieve a career Grand Slam joining Gene Sarazen (1935), Ben Hogan (1953), Gary Player (1965) and Jack Nicklaus (1966) and Tiger Woods (2000).
