The Masters Never Disappoints

The Masters is one of golf's greatest traditions. The early spring tournament is one of sport's most iconic events, and seemingly never fails to bring drama to Augusta National. 2016 was no exception. After leading for the tournament's first 54 holes, reigning champion Jordan Spieth went into Sunday's final round in position to become the fourth player to repeat as Masters champion. Instead, Spieth fell apart on the back nine on Sunday, with a quadruple-bogey on the 12th hole sinking his chances to again be awarded the green jacket, instead going to 28-year old Danny Willett, the first Brit to win the tournament since Nick Faldo in 1996. 

The tournament saw the return to near-greatness of two-time Masters Champion, Bernhard Langer, who made an impressive run at age 58. Willett's victory came in just his second appearance in the Masters, with the relatively-unknown name evoking memories of such newcomers as Fuzzy Zoeller, who won the 1979 Masters in his first appearance. Danny Willett's victory only served to add to the legend that is Augusta National and the Masters.
