Masters greats pay tribute to Sandy Lyle on his retirement

Sandy Lyle has hit his final shot in professional golf, with the two-time Major Champion retiring at the end of the Masters Tournament.

The Hall of Famer enjoyed his most famous moment at Augusta National as he hit a remarkable bunker shot on the 18th to set up the birdie that made him the first ever British player to wear the Green Jacket.
