DAY 4: Apr 9 - Sergio Garcia ended his long wait for a Major title, and joined fellow Spaniards Seve Ballesteros and Jose Maria Olazabal as Masters champions, by winning a Green Jacket.

Garcia was involved in a titanic duel with Justin Rose throughout the final round but managed to seal the deal at the first playoff hole.

Charl Schwartzel lead the South African charge and a birdie on 18, a carbon copy of the one that won him the Green Jacket in 2017, saw him claim third place on -6. Branden Grace, Louis Oosthuizen and Ernie Els all finished over-par for the tournament which will be bitterly disappointing for them.

DAY 3: Apr 8 - Justin Rose shot to the top of the leaderboard on moving day as he carded the low round of the day, a five-under 67. He was joined at six-under for the tournament by Sergio Garcia and the pair will go out in the final group for tomorrow's final round. Rickie Fowler is one shot back while Charlie Hoffman, Jordan Spieth and Ryan Moore are at -4.

Charl Schwartzel played himself into contention with a third round 68 and finds himself four back of the leading pair as he chases down his second Green Jacket. Branden Grace, Louis Oosthuizen and Ernie Els are at +5, +8 and +14 respectively and will have a relative pressure free final round with no chance of challenging for the title.

DAY 2: Apr 7 - Rickie Fowler shot the low round of the day, a five-under 67, which saw him end the day in a four-way tie for the lead with Thomas Pieters, Charley Hoffman and Sergio Garcia at -4. Defending champion Danny Willet missed the cut at +7 and was joined in exiting the tournament by Henrik Stenson who was at +8 after two rounds.

Charl Schwartzel's second round 72 left him as the best placed Saffer at +2 for the tournament. Ernie Else is at +3 and Louis Oosthuizen is at +4. Branden Grace snuck into the weekend at +6, with the cut at +7, while Trevor Immelman was eliminated with his two round total of +11.

DAY 1: Apr 6 - Charlie Hofmann carded an opening round seven-under as he raced to a four-shot lead over William McGirt. The 40-year-old American posted nine birdies, which included a run of four in a row from 14 to 17, and two bogeys on his way to a total of 65.

Ernie Els was the best placed Saffer after the opening exchanges and finds himself tied for 12th at even-par. Charl Schwartzel was the next best at +2 while Branden Grace, Louis Oosthuizen and Trevor Immelman were at +4, +5 and +7 respectively.

OF the player ranked in the top 10 in the world Rory McIlroy was the best placed at even-par. The current World No2 carded three bogeys on the front nine but rescued the round with three birdies on the back nine to sign for a 72.

World No1, and one of the favourites for the tournament victory, Dusin Johnson had to withdraw after a freak accident saw him injure his back. The American slipped on the stairs on Wednesday night and the pain prevented him from being able to swing the club freely which forced him out of the first Major of 2017
