United States president Donald Trump called Rory McIlroy a ‘legend’ as he congratulated the Northern Irishman on his second Masters title.

McIlroy held on for a one-shot victory over America’s world number one Scottie Scheffler, becoming only the fourth player in the tournament’s 90-year history to win successive titles at Augusta.
