Masters Tournament

American Bubba Watson claimed his second Masters title in three years with rookies Jonas Blixt and Jordan Spieth sharing second on their Masters debuts.

Watson carded a closing 69 to finish eight under par, three shots ahead of Spieth and Sweden's Blixt, with Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez fourth another shot behind.

The 35-year-old was embraced by his wife and their son on the 18th green, he and Angie having adopted Caleb just days before his victory over Louis Oosthuizen in a play-off two years ago.

Spieth was looking to eclipse Tiger Woods as the youngest ever Masters champion and the 20-year-old held a two-shot lead after seven holes, aided by holing a bunker shot on the fourth.

But that two-shot advantage became a two-shot deficit in the space of two holes and with no-one able to mount a challenge, Watson held his nerve on the closing stretch to ensure a sixth Masters victory by a left-hander since 2003.

Sunshine Tour – Zimbabwe Open

Jbe’ Kruger hit what he called a perfect shot on the 17th at Royal Harare Golf Club on Sunday to set up a tense one-stroke victory in the Golden Pilsener Zimbabwe Open.


It brought him his second successive birdie after his breath-taking charge for victory had been temporarily halted by a pair of bogey on the back nine, but that birdie took him clear of Jacques Blaauw and gave him his second title in the Zimbabwean capital after he won there in 2010.

Web.com – El Bosque Mexico Championship

With a 4-under 68 in the final round, Carlos Ortiz became the first Mexican-born player to win the El Bosque Mexico Championship. This is Ortiz’s second victory of the year on the Web.com Tour.

Ortiz started the day tied for the lead, but jumped out in front making four birdies on his front nine at El Bosque Country Club. The University of North Texas graduate was 14-under-par through 15 holes on Sunday afternoon and at one point had a three-stroke lead. Bogeys on holes 16 and 17 cut his lead down to one with just the 72nd hole left to play.

Once he successfully reached the par-5 finishing hole in two, Ortiz two putted for birdie and the win.
