SA's NEWEST MAJOR WINNER CROWNED...!
Augusta - South African Charl Schwartzel birdied the last four holes on Sunday to win the 75th Masters by two strokes over Australians Adam Scott and Jason Day in a dramatic back-nine showdown.

Schwartzel's third birdie in a row was a tension-packed eight-foot putt at the 17th hole that left him needing only to par the 18th to win his first major title at age 26.
Instead, he dropped a 15-footer for birdie to finish off a six-under par 66, the day's low round, and conclude 72 holes on 14-under par 274, denying Scott and Day their dream of becoming the first Australian to capture a Masters title.
"I don't think I can ask for anything more," Scott said. "It was great to make a run out there. I just want to get in the mix next time."
"I couldn't do any more than I did out there," Day said after a round of 68. "Adam and I gave our best. Charl just had a little more out there. To be in the hunt to be the first Aussie to win the masters was special."
Schwartzel, who made it to Augusta only off his 2010 year-end top 50 world ranking, won 50 years to the day after countryman Gary Player became the first Masters winner from outside America.
It was only the second time in 21 years that the Masters winner did not come from the final pairing, Schwartzel in the penultimate group after entering the last round four strokes behind Rory McIlroy, whose last-day 80 doomed his bid.
"Just hit a poor tee shot on 10 and just unraveled from there. I just lost it and couldn't get it back. I'm very disappointed but I will get over it. I have to take away the positives. I led this golf tournament for 63 holes.
