It's The Masters and to celebrate here we bring you the Top 20 Masters Dramas Ever. Rory McIlroy was one stroke ahead when he walked onto the 10th tee on Sunday in 2011. What followed was horrible. Just horrible... “I felt really comfortable on that tee shot all week,” McIlroy said. “I just started it a little left.”
Play-offs aren’t always exciting (remember Mike Weir and wotsisname* in 2003?), but the three-way, 18-hole play-off in 1962 between Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Dow Finsterwald, showed the most exciting player in the game at his thrilling best.
The hallowed grounds of Augusta National Golf Club will be the focus of the golfing world when the 86th edition of the Masters Tournament is staged from 7–10 April. Rolex has supported this bastion of sporting prestige for more than two decades and been an International Partner since 2008.
Ten years ago, Hideki Matsuyama was sitting in Butler Cabin as the leading amateur at the 2011 Masters. On Sunday, the man from Japan returned to the cabin but this time, it was to pick up the coveted Green Jacket.
Hideki Matsuyama took advantage of a damped down Augusta to fire a bogey-free third round seven-under 75 to take a four-shot lead into Sunday. Following a rain delay of over an hour, the man from Japan produced an eagle and four birdies to cover the back nine in 30.

We didn’t have to wait long for the to come around again. It is less than 150 days since DJ holed the putt that earned him his first Green Jacket. Augusta is going to be a different proposition from last November. The winner aside, It is a brave man that takes much note of the performances in the 2020 event to educate his choices this week. There are so many factors in
Not since the heydays of one Tiger Woods have we seen such a dominant performance. Johnson was out of the traps fast with his opening seven-under-par 65 and despite a slightly lacklustre showing on Friday he stormed it from there. Add to this that the lucky so and so is engaged to the lovely Paulina Gretzky and he is a really genuinely nice guy and we are somewhat jealous! Course conditions
Tiger Woods stood on the 12th tee in his final round on Sunday at three-under-par. He was out of contention but still had birdie opportunities coming come and a chance to grab a top ten finish. What happened next will go down in history as one of the biggest surprises in golf let alone at the Masters. Shot 6 – Tiger skulls the bunker shot over the green and back into the water.
For a moment, there was a doubt. Dustin Johnson had just made back to back bogies at the 5th hole and he suddenly looked human. Surely, we were not going to see another Masters meltdown or Johnson falling at the final hurdle once again. Some fifteen minutes later, it was panic over and back to business as usual.

Poor old Bryson Dechambeau. With the weight of expectation hanging heavy on him not helped by his pre-tournament comments, the big-hitting man from California caught an awful piece of luck.
