FIVE MASTERS MELTDOWNS

-

JORDAN SPIETH (2016) The Texan was five shots clear heading at the turn. But back-toback bogeys were followed up by dunking two balls in the water at the par-three 12th. Finished three shots off Danny Willett.

Then 21 and searching for a first

Major, McIlroy blew a four-shot lead on Sunday. After hooking his tee shot into the cabins at the 10th on his way to a triple bogey and four-putting the 12th, he watched Charl Schwartzel win.

The Great White Shark shot a 78 to blow a six-shot lead over Nick

Faldo and allow the Englishman to stride to a Green Jacket.

The American was three shots clear with three to play but bogeyed them all with his putt at the last hanging over the lip. He waited so long for it to drop he was told he would have been penalised if it had done so. Fuzzy Zoeller won the play-off.

The amateur shot 80, including a trio of three-putts, to lose by one to Jack Burke Jr. It was the biggest comeback win at the Masters after Burke was eight shots adrift after three rounds.
