Rory McIlroy, the 54-hole leader, shot 37 on the front to hold a one-stroke lead heading into the back nine. However, he quickly fell out of contention after a wayward tee shot on 10 that led to a triple-bogey was immediately followed by a three-putt bogey on 11 from close range, and a four-putt double bogey on 12.McIlroy positive despite Augusta collapse https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/13031762 BBC Sport April 24, 2025 April 11, 2011 He finished with a round of 80, and ten strokes back in a tie for 15th place. Tiger Woods, who was seven shots back to start the final round, shot 31 on the front nine, including an eagle at 8, to tie for the lead, but a three-putt bogey on 12 and a missed 5 ft m 1 on eagle putt on 15 doomed his chance at a fifth Masters title. Woods had previously never come from behind in the final round to win any of his 14 major championships. Geoff Ogilvy, also seven shots back to start the day, birdied 12 through 16 to share the lead, but came up short of his second major. K. J. Choi tied for the lead with a birdie at the 9th hole, but struggled putting on the back nine and finished in a tie for 8th. 2009 champion Ángel Cabrera also shared the lead but bogeys at 12 and 16 led to a solo 7th-place finish. https://www.bbc.com/sport/golf/13030745 Masters 2011: Charl Schwartzel wins dramatic Masters April 10, 2011 BBC Sport Rob Hodgetts April 12, 2022 Adam Scott stormed up the leader board and after a birdie at 16 held a two shot lead. Jason Day made a 35 ft m 0 on birdie putt on 17 and another birdie on 18 to post −12, a share of the clubhouse lead with Scott. However, the day belonged to Charl Schwartzel, who chipped in for birdie at 1, holed out for eagle on 3, and birdied the final four holes to win by two shots; his 66 was the low round of the day. It was Schwartzel's first major win, and he became the third South African to win the Masters, along with Gary Player and Trevor Immelman. It was also the 50th anniversary of Player's 1961 Masters win, when he became the first international player to win the Masters.
