There's joy for South African on a rollercoaster Sunday in Augusta but misery for McIlroy as young Ulsterman unravels while the world watches
South African Charl Schwartzel landed the 2011 Masters after a pulsating final round in Augusta.
On a drama-filled Sunday afternoon, the 26-year-old finished two shots clear of the field thanks to birdies at 16, 17 and 18. Schwartzel was backed at a high of [160.0] on betfair for Augusta glory.
In truth the green jacket could have gone to any one of eight players with Aussie trio Adam Scott, Jason Day and Geoff Ogilvy all putting in stellar final rounds while a charging Tiger Woods held the lead at one point.
One man who sadly didn't figure in the final shake-up was Rory McIlroy. The king of Augusta for the first three days, McIlroy unravelled in the heat of the last day at Augusta, blowing a four-shot lead in a painful round of 80. The 21-year-old traded at a low of [1.68] to win the tournament on Betfair before his final day Masters meltdown.
Punters have not lost all faith in McIlroy however - he is among the favourites for June's US Open at Congressional. Tiger heads the pack and can be backed at [7.4].
