Masters 2016: Leaderboard, live coverage, results and more from Sunday’s final round at Augusta

Jordan Spieth was seven holes away from wrapping up an historic second straight wire-to-wire win at the Masters on Sunday when he arrived at Augusta’s par-3 12th. Spieth had sailed over Rae’s Creek earlier in the week, racking up two pars and a birdie on one of golf’s most iconic holes, which can be as treacherous as it is lovely.

Surely, those in the golf world believed as one, it was just a matter of an hour or so before young Jordan would complete his tour of Amen Corner and collect his second green jacket.

This is the third hole-in-on in a matter of hours at the 16th at Augusta National and it’s absolutely the coolest we’ve ever seen. Louis Oosthuizen used playing partner J.B. Holmes’ ball to re-route his own right into the cup.

Verne Lundquist, who has been posted up at the 16th for decades, said he’d never seen an afternoon like it. Jordan Spieth may be running away again, but at least we’re getting some second nine fireworks.

Update: Danny Willett took home the green jacket after Jordan Spieth collapsed. Here is the full Masters payout.

The ultimate prize on Sunday at Augusta National is the green jacket that comes with winning the Masters, but whoever walks away with the victory will also take home a lucrative payday of $1.8 million.

No one has held the lead, or even tied for the lead, at the Masters in the last two years other than Jordan Spieth. It’s become his second home and now he’s playing in the final group on Sunday for the third time in his short three-year Masters career. He’s got the lead again and is the favorite, but a late Saturday stumble opened things up to a loaded group of chasers. Here are a few ways they can pull off the chasedown and win the green jacket.

You’re losing strokes to the field if you do not pile up birdies, and even eagles, on the par-5s at Augusta. This is the case almost weekly on the PGA Tour, but no move at Augusta can be made without posting some red numbers at Nos. 2, 8, 13 and 15.

Smylie Kaufman is not a name anyone expected to see on the tee sheet next to that of defending champion Jordan Spieth in the anchor spot on Masters Sunday.

In fact, a 300-1 longest of long shots to win the green jacket in his Masters debut, his is a moniker unknown to virtually all casual golf fans before he made a charge late on Saturday, coming in with three birdies in his final six holes.

You can’t ask for much more out of a Sunday at a major championship.

Even if you’re the most casual of golf fan, there’s reason to tune in to CBS for some HELLO, FRIENDS-ing today. Given the leaderboard, we’re almost certain to have a memorable winner take home the title. If you weren’t already planning on it, here’s seven reasons to break out the pimento cheese sandwiches, put on your best green jacket and tune in for what could be one helluva Sunday at Augusta National.

There is no bigger day in golf than Sunday at the Masters and for the third straight year, Jordan Spieth has taken up residence at the top of the Augusta leaderboard.

Spieth has figured out Augusta better than you could expect any 22-year-old to do. He’s played in three Masters and is now in the final Sunday group for the third straight year. In 2015, Spieth strolled to the first tee with a comfortable four-shot lead, all the tools in his game working, and a nice Sunday cruise to the green jacket ahead of him. This Sunday presents a different set of circumstances for the defending champion.

The casual fan will remind you of it four times a year when they drop in on the majors. Golf writers will remind you of it every slow traffic week when they try to justify the relevance of their post about him. Even the hardcore fans will tell you that the statements made, while tiresome, are not untrue.

It’s just not the same without Tiger Woods. He’s the guy that really moves the needle.
