The 2014 Masters Tournament was the 78th edition of the Masters Tournament, the first of golf's four major championships in 2014. It was held April 10–13 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia.[1] Bubba Watson won his second Masters, three shots ahead of runners-up Jonas Blixt and Jordan Spieth; defending champion Adam Scott tied for fourteenth place.

After world number one Tiger Woods withdrew, three entered Augusta with a chance to leave with the top ranking. Adam Scott needed a two-way tie for third, Henrik Stenson a two-way tie for second, and Jason Day a win.[2] The trio finished T-14, T-14, and T-20, respectively, so Woods remained number one.

Field

The Masters has the smallest field of the four major championships.

Each player is classified according to the first category by which he qualified, with other categories in which he qualified shown in parentheses.[3]

Final round

Sunday, April 13, 2014

Bubba Watson shot a 69 in the final round to win the Masters for the second time in three years.[15] Jordan Spieth had taken the lead after a birdie on the second hole, and expanded his lead to 2 shots following a Watson bogey on the third.[16] Spieth held the outright lead until the eighth hole, when Watson scored a birdie to Spieth's bogey.[17] Another Watson birdie and Spieth bogey on the ninth hole gave Watson a two-shot lead, which he never relinquished and won going away, finishing three shots ahead of both Spieth and Swedish golfer Jonas Blixt.[18] Blixt was the only player in the field to post four sub-par rounds. Joost Luiten shot the low round of the day, 67 (−5).[19][20]
