The 21-year-old McIlory fell apart at Augusta National on Sunday just when he seemed poised to win his first major. He shot an 8-over 80 to drop to 15th place - 10 shots behind champion Charl Schwartzel.
The Irish Times headlined: "McIlroy slips from master to bogey man on final day." In the Belfast-based Irish News, it was "Rory Shattered."
McIlroy teed off Sunday morning with a four-stroke lead and the chance to become the second youngest winner of the green jacket.
