Masters Tournament - The debrief

Here is everything you need to know from the 87th Masters Tournament.

Spain reigns at Augusta again

Jon Rahm followed in the footsteps of his hero Seve Ballesteros as he clinched Masters glory 40 years on from his countryman's second win at Augusta National Golf Club on what would have been his 66th birthday. Rahm hunted down third-round leader Brooks Koepka before cruising to a four-shot victory to earn his first Green Jacket and a fifth top-ten finish in seven visits to Augusta. He said: "For me to get it done on the 40th anniversary of his win, his birthday, on Easter Sunday, it's incredibly meaningful."

Lyle finishes his Masters journey with familiar putter

Sandy Lyle took a trip down memory lane on Saturday morning as he played his final competitive shot at Augusta National before retirement with a replica of the putter which helped him to Masters glory in 1988. After saluting the patrons around the 18th green as he returned to complete the second round at his 42nd and last Masters, Lyle said: "The replica putter is an idea that Ping came up with and they reproduced the model of putter I used in '88, which is a Ping Pal, and they obviously reserved one for me. And I didn't realise it was going to be a gold-ish one. So we thought it would be nice to use it on the last hole from 12 feet."

The tributes poured in for Lyle, with five fellow Masters Champions with nine Green Jackets between them saluting one of European golf's all-time greats.

Weather causes disruption

After two weather delays on Friday forced the afternoon starters to return to the course on Saturday to complete their second rounds, the forecast rain arrived on day three, leading to a build-up of standing water on some greens. Play was called off for the day at 15.15 local time, with the final group having to complete 30 holes on Sunday.

Amazing amateur shines at Augusta

American amateur Sam Bennett announced himself on one of golf's biggest stages as he shot successive rounds of 68 on Thursday and Friday to safely make it through to the weekend. The 23-year-old, who won the U.S. Amateur last year to secure his place in the year’s first Major Championship, finished the tournament on two under par to claim Low Amateur honours.

Tiger's remarkable cut run continues

Tiger Woods sadly had to withdraw from the tournament in the third round with an injury to his heel but by then the five-time winner had already maintained an incredible record. He finished as Low Amateur in 1995 and after missing the cut the following year, he turned professional in August, sensationally winning a first Green Jacket in 1997. Since then he has not missed the cut at Augusta National, a remarkable 23 cuts from 23 appearances in the paid ranks. His 23 appearances also include those five wins, two seconds, five other top fives and two more top tens. If he makes the cut on his next trip down Magnolia Lane, he will break the record he now shares with Gary Player and Fred Couples for most consecutive cuts made at Augusta.
