King Charles receives delightful news days before US trip

King Charles has reacted to a delightful news days before his state visit to the United States of America, where his son Prince Harry lives with family.

The palace released King Charles statement after Rory McIlroy overcame early stumbles and a late scare to win the Masters on Sunday, capturing his sixth major title to become only the fourth back-to-back champion at Augusta National.

The world number two from Northern Ireland made a double bogey at the fourth and a bogey at the sixth, but responded with four birdies in the next seven holes and hung on after woeful late tee shots to win a second green jacket and a record top prize of $4.5 million.

McIlroy joined Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Nick Faldo as the only back-to-back winners in Masters history, firing a final round one-under-par 71 to finish on 12-under-par 276 and defeat top-ranked Scottie Scheffler by one stroke.

A year after winning his first Masters to complete a career Grand Slam and snap a 10-year major win drought, McIlroy pulled off a wire-to-wire triumph.

The official Twitter of the 90th Masters Tournament shared a video of Rory after the win with caption, “The moment Rory claimed his second Green Jacket.”

Reposting the video, the palace on behalf of King Charles, says “Congratulations Rory McIlroy on your extraordinary back-to-back win at The Masters!”

The delightful news for King Charles came days before his visit to US in the last week of April.
