Danny Willett won the Masters with a 67 in the final round. Jordan Spieth lost it with a quadruple bogey on the 12th hole. Spieth had a five-shot lead until starting the back nine Sunday with two bogeys, then hitting two shots in Rae’s Creek and making 7 on the par-3 12th. He never caught up. Willett became the first player from England to win the green jacket since 1996, when Nick Faldo closed with a 67 and took advantage of a collapse by Greg Norman.

Rory McIlroy needs a Masters victory to become only the sixth player to complete the career Grand Slam. This will be his third attempt at it.

Dustin Johnson will try to become only the fourth player — and first since Tiger Woods in 2002 — to win the Masters at No. in the world. 1

Five of the top 10 players in the world ranking have won on the PGA Tour this year.

Tiger Woods is not playing for the third time in the last four years.
