Masters 2013: Leaderboard, live updates and results from Sunday’s final round

At the start of the week, the anticipation and hype heading into the 2013 Masters hit a high for recent major championships, but no one could have predicted the events of the four days that followed. Here are the winners, losers and some highlights from the week at Augusta.

Adam Scott -- The 32-year-old finally broke his own majors drought and the Australian curse at Augusta, draining two career-defining putts on No. 18 in regulation and No. 10 in the playoff. Scott won his first PGA Tour event a decade ago, and one year later, he won the unofficial 5th major in golf, the Players Championship. He was tabbed as the next big thing in golf, and a definite majors winner to follow Greg Norman. It didn’t go as planned, and the Aussie regressed in his late twenties as he searched for a reliable putting stroke. He was completely off the map when Norman chose him as a captain’s pick for the 2009 Preisdents Cup. By the numbers, he didn’t belong on the team or in the same class as the group of international and American stars competing at that time.

Never before has the attention promptly turned to a caddie upon the winning of a major, particularly the Masters. But Tiger Woods floats all boats, and former caddie Steve Williams “won” another major on Sunday, carrying the bag for Adam Scott.

Since Tiger canned Stevie, the Kiwi caddie has repeatedly fired shots back at the 14-time major winner who made him famous. And so when Scott poured in that putt on No. 10 to win it, we were all waiting to see what the bagman what have to say -- how would he, either directly or indirectly, take a dig at Tiger?

Adam Scott may be the last golfer with an anchored putter ever to win a major championship.

The new face of long putters, Scott won the 2013 Masters -- the first major victory for him and for an Australian at Augusta -- with the longest of flat sticks jammed into his chest and became the fourth of the last six major champions to wield a big bat.

It only took 77 years to happen, but Australia finally has a Green Jacket to call its own.

Adam Scott won The Masters by shooting a brilliant round Sunday afternoon and winning a playoff, becoming the first Aussie to do so in the history of the tournament. In what was another hectic and exciting conclusion to the season’s first major championship, Scott battled the likes of Argentina’s Angel Cabrera, a late-surging Tiger Woods, an emotional Brandt Snedeker and fellow countrymen Jason Day and Marc Leishman to achieve what every pro golfer dreams of winning.

When Adam Scott canned his birdie putt on the second hole of overtime Sunday and became the first Australian ever to win a Masters tournament, he was not alone in the limelight. If history is a guide, Tiger Woods’ former bagman, Steve Williams, is sure to claim his fair share of the glory for helping Scott earn his first major championship.

Williams has been relatively quiet since he upstaged his Scott when his then-new employer won the 2011 Bridgestone Invitational and Woods’ ex claimed it was his own “best win” ever -- despite handing the clubs to Woods in 13 of his 14 major Ws. After Sunday, we’re bound to hear soon enough from Stevie, whom Woods fired in June of 2011 and who has never been shy about claiming credit for his incredible looping skills.

For the second straight year, the Masters ended in a playoff, with the winning score coming in at 9-under. It was pushed to that mark in the final 10 minutes of the tournament, as both Adam Scott and Angel Cabrera pulled off back-to-back incredible shots at the 18th green.

Playing in the second-to-last group, Scott’s came first, on an incredible putt from the right side of the green. The Aussie put the putt of the left side of the hole and the ball went slightly around the lip to drop in for what looked like the Masters victory. Scott and his caddie, Stevie Williams, erupted in celebration, thinking the Aussie was on the verge of becoming the first player ever from down under to win at Augusta.

After an exciting finish, Adam Scott is the 2013 Masters champion. In addition to claiming the green jacket, he will also take home a sizable first-place prize. By winning the Masters, Scott claimed $1.44 million of the $8 million purse.

The top of the leaderboard was tight with Angel Cabrera finishing in second place after losing the playoff. Jason Day finished two strokes behind in third. Both players will still take home a significant amount of money. Cabrera may have lost the playoff, but he will win a consolation prize of $864,000. Day faltered down the stretch, but still finished in third place and will receive a check for $544,000.

Angel Cabrera and Adam Scott are headed to a playoff at Augusta National and the two will begin the additional holes right where the final round ended.

Both players made birdie on No. 18 to move to 9-under. They will now replay the 18th hole to start the playoff in sudden death. If the two remain tied after playing No. 18 a second time, they will move on to No. 10. Assuming more holes are needed, they will go back to the 18th and repeat this process until a champion is crowned.

For the second straight year, the Masters is headed to a playoff. It will be Adam Scott and Angel Cabrera going to extra holes after an amazing sequence on the 18th green at Augusta National.

The two were playing in consecutive groups and both went to the 18th tee in a tie at 8-under. Both, on two separate incredible shots, carded birdies to move the tournament back to No. 18 again for the first playoff hole. For Scott, it was a lengthy putt from the right side of the green, a long birdie putt that looked to clinch things and prompted a celebration with caddie Steve Williams. A gif of the putt:

Friends, let us first take a moment to remember a classic at The Masters.

Simpler times. Back when Stevie and Tiger were inseparable. Times have changed, and these two really don’t like each other. Tiger never really found himself in contention at Augusta this week, but Stevie and Adam Scott sure did.

It’s another finish inside the top 10 for Tiger Woods the Masters, and the No. 1 player in the world got off to slow start on Sunday and could never recover to close the gap on the leaders. Woods started the day in a four-shot hole, and he carded two bogeys before he ever picked up a red number, leaving only the slimmest hopes for a Sunday comeback. He said after the round that a 65 was the number he was looking for, but a rainy day at Augusta slowed the greens and Woods could not adjust to the pace with his putter.

After the disappointing front nine, Tiger did eventually get things rolling, picking up his first birdie at No. 9 and then carrying that momentum onto the second nine. It was a seven-hole stretch that featured four birdies, including two on the par-5s at the 13th and 15th. For a moment, with the final group of Brandt Snedeker and Angel Cabrera struggling, it looked like Woods might actually get within a shot of the leaders. But he narrowly missed three birdie chances in the middle of his second nine, burning the edges at Nos. 11, 12, and 16 to prevent the low round he had to have.

With only a few regulation holes to play, it’s tight atop the 2013 Masters leaderboard. Adam Scott and Angel Cabrera are currently tied at the top at 8-under while Jason day is one stroke back.

Scott had an opportunity to take the lead outright at No. 16, but his birdie putt just rolled off, forcing him to settle for a par. No Australian born player has ever won the Masters, but with Scott and Day at the top, that could change today. After dropping two shots on the back nine, Cabrera worked his way back into a tie for the lead with a long birdie at No. 16. He had not birdied a hole since No. 7, but he’s now a co-leader with two holes to play.

The 2013 Masters is coming down to the wire and it’s Australian Jason Day leading the way as the players come down the final stretch of the back nine.

With back-to-back birdies at No. 13 and No. 14, Day moved to 3-under on the round and 8-under overall. That moved him into a share of the lead with Angel Cabrera, but moments later Cabrera bogeyed No. 13 to drop to 7-under. Day made it three straight birdies at No. 15 as he moved to 9-under and increased his lead to two strokes.

With two holes to play at Augusta National, Tiger Woods is now 5-under par, three shots back of the lead.

After an ugly start to his round, Tiger has not bogeyed a hole since No. 7, and has since added four birdies to climb all the way to 6-under. Things really started rolling at No. 9, and he moved through Amen Corner with several darts into the green, emerging from No. 13 in the red for the day.

Golf fans find plenty of interesting ways to show support for their favorite players. For one spectator at Augusta National, that meant wearing a shirt with a giant tiger on it.

• How low does Tiger have to go on Sunday?

Perhaps Angel Cabrera thought this man didn’t need anything more to drink. Maybe he just decided it was time to cut the patron off. Golfers have quite a bit of control, so Cabrera could’ve conceivably taken a detour to knock a drink (we’re assuming beer) out of a man’s hand with a shot.

Or maybe it was just an awesome errant shot. Your call

Play has continued at Augusta National despite persistent rain and Angel Cabrera continues to play well. He remains in sole possession of the lead and has pushed his advantage to three strokes.

Tiger Woods knew what he needed to do to give himself a chance at winning the Masters and his fifth green jacket. Beginning his final round only four shots behind leaders Angel Cabrera and Jason Day, many felt Woods would need a 66 or 65 to seriously contend. He’d also need a little help from those atop the leaderboard.

After a front nine 37, however, it appears Tiger has run out of holes at Augusta.

There are low numbers to be had at Augusta National on Sunday. The leaders are all starting off strong and quite a few players appear to be headed towards rounds in the 60s. But as we’ve seen already, there are also some big numbers on the course.

Earlier it was Kevin Na carding a 10 at No. 12. And just about an hour later, Bubba Watson met the same fate. He, too, recorded a 10 -- that’s 7-over -- at No. 12, following in Na’s footsteps. So of course we set it to Yakety Sax.

The rain has begun to fall at Augusta National, but play continues with Angel Cabrera now in the lead by himself at 8-under.

Cabrera began the day at 7-under but moved into a share for the lead at 8-under with a birdie at No. 2. Once in a three-way tie for the lead, Cabrera now sits alone atop the leaderboard as the co-leaders have dropped strokes. Jason Day opened his round birdie-eagle, but fell a stroke back at 7-under with a bogey at No. 6.

Tiger Woods is going in the wrong direction on his first nine at the Masters. Woods, who opened with two straight missed fairways, has yet to make a birdie through his first six holes. He did, however, drop a shot on No. 5 with one of the worst lag putts of his career at Augusta National.

The pressure was on Tiger early to pick up a couple birdies and put a scare in the leaders, but he’s been grinding through the first six holes. It’s been his short game -- wedges and putting -- that propelled him back to the No. 1 ranking in the world, but on No. 5 he badly misjudged a lengthy putt up to the second tier on that large putting surface. Woods left his approach shot down below on the front right of the green, and he left his birdie lag putt about 15 feet short of the cup, barely up to the second tier. From there, he could not get home with the lengthy par putt and dropped back to 2-under, a full six shots off the pace.

Two days later, but we’re starting to get to the truth:

A better image of this important examination.

Radar has been showing a large area of rain slowly moving towards the Georgia/ South Carolina border towards Augusta National Golf Course. Some of the rain we see on radar isn’t reaching the surface as of 2:30 p.m. EDT, but we will start to see light rain showers develop for the final pairings of the Masters.

The rain looks to be fairly light with no lightning. While the light rain and some breezy conditions will make the course more challenging for the final pairings, they should be able to finish the tournament.

All of the leaders have teed off at Augusta National and a few of the players on the top of the leaderboard are playing well early.

After closing his third round with two bogeys, Jason Day didn’t waste any time getting a stroke back on Sunday. Day sunk a long birdie putt on the first hole to move to 6-under for the tournament and into third place. After hitting his second shot on No. 2 into a green-side bunker, Day took over the lead at 8-under by chipping in for an eagle.

Tiger Woods is now out on the course for Sunday’s final round at the Masters, and the No. 1 player in the world is even-par through his first two holes at Augusta National. Tiger will need to make a move early on the first nine as he attempts to close a four-shot deficit at the start of the day. There are birdies out there for Woods, as 55-year-old Bernhard Langer has demonstrated with three straight red numbers to start his round.

The first hole has historically given Tiger trouble, as it’s the hole with his highest aggregate score in his Masters career. After the disqualification debate of Saturday morning, Tiger stepped up to No. 1 and quickly birdied the hole that’s given him problems in the past. On Sunday, he sent his drive off the fairway on the left, and was forced to set up in the pine straw for his approach shot. While off the fairway, he still managed to put his approach in the middle of the green, where he two-putted for an easy par.
