Nelson got off to a bad start on the last day of the 1942 tournament, floundering with a double bogey at the first hole. But he turned it around and ultimately took his second Masters title following a nail-biting battle against fellow Texan Ben Hogan.

"Except for the first hole, I think that was the finest round of golf I ever shot," Nelson said.

The 1942 tournament was the last held during the war, and the Masters was put on a three-year hiatus.

After his 2004 Masters, Mickelson won the 2005 PGA and clinched the Masters again in 2006. Whereas he'd needed to birdie to win in 2004, this time around he approached the final hole with a three-shot lead, the Chronicle reported. He won with 7 under par.

"In '04 when I won, I felt this great feeling of relief," Mickelson said, The New York Times reported. "This time, it's a great feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment to come out on top."

Johnson, Golfweek reported, was an "unknown" who "never had finished better than 17th in a major." But he didn't let that stop him.

"Zach put his blinkers on and went," said Stuart Appleby, who led at one point. "[...] He knew what he was up against, the type of players who were up there. Fantastic to him. It's a great story, something different than a guy who wins 15 majors in a row."

Ultimately, Johnson won the highest-scoring Masters since 1956.

Immelman won three strokes ahead of runner-up Tiger Woods with 8 under. His victory came just four months after he underwent surgery to remove a tumor from his diaphragm. 

"This has been the ultimate roller-coaster ride, and I hate roller coasters," Immelman said, the AP reported after his win.

"Masters champion — it's the craziest thing I've ever heard of," he added.

Cabrera prevailed in a three-way playoff against Kenny Perry and Chad Campbell to become the first — and so far only — champion from Argentina and South America.

In 2021, Cabrera was found guilty of assaulting his former partner, and in 2022, he was found guilty of assaulting another ex. He served two years in an Argentinian prison before his release in August 2023.

In December 2023, he spoke to Golf Digest about his plans to get back to the sport, the Associated Press reported.

"I am deeply embarrassed because I disappointed the people closest to me — and everyone who loves me through golf," he said. "Golf gave me everything, and I know I will never be able to repay the debt I owe this sport."

While Masters winners are automatically allowed to enter every year's competition for the rest of their lives, Cabrera was unable to get a visa to the US and will not attend the 2024 tournament, Golfweek reported in March.

Mickelson ended with an incredible 16 under, three strokes ahead of runner-up Lee Westwood.

He claimed his third jacket as his wife, Amy, looked on — she was in treatment for breast cancer at the time and had been unable to attend earlier rounds. (She was later declared cancer-free.)

"I was just really glad she was there," Mickelson said, the Chronicle reported. "I wasn't sure if she was going to be there today. To walk off the green and share that with her is very emotional for us. It's something we'll look back on the rest of our lives and just cherish. I'll cherish every moment of this week."

With just nine holes left, Spieth was five ahead of Willett, but then things started to go very wrong for the defending champion. On the 12th, his ball went into the water and he finished the hole with a quadruple bogey.

Meanwhile, Willett's steady set of birdies and pars led him to victory, allowing him to become the first Englishman to win the tournament in 20 years.

"You dream about these kind of days and things like that, but for them to happen ... it's still mind-boggling," Willett said, ESPN reported.

SB Nation noted the cheers were far louder for Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, and Rickie Fowler on the final day, but ultimately, it fueled Reed, who beat them all with a 15-under 273.

"It definitely wasn't easy today," he said, CBS Sports reported. "I knew it was going to be a dogfight. It's just a way of God basically saying, 'Let's see if you have it. Everyone knows you have it physically with the talent, but do you have it mentally? Can you handle the ups and downs throughout the round?'"

He added, "I just kind of went out there and just tried to play golf the best I could and tried to stay in the moment and not worry about everything else."

"It's thrilling to think that there are a lot of youngsters in Japan watching today, and in five, 10 years when they get a little older, hopefully some of them will be competing on a world stage, but I still have a lot of years left, so they're still going to have to compete against me," he said after his win.

Due to rain and thunderstorms, players were forced to play Friday's rounds on Saturday, and Saturday's rounds on Sunday. At the start of the final day, Jon Rahm was four strokes behind Brooks Koepka, with 30 holes left to play.

As Koepka faltered in the final round, Rahm ultimately shot 3-under par for a tournament score of 12 under, besting Koepka by four shots. Koepka tied with Phil Mickelson who, at 52, became the oldest runner-up in the tournament's history, the Associated Press reported.

Rahm is the fourth Spaniard to win the Masters, after Seve Ballesteros, José María Olazábal, and Sergio Garcia. Ballesteros inspired Rahm to take up the game, and, incredibly, the final day of the tournament would have been Ballesteros' 66th birthday. It was also the 40th anniversary of his second win.

"I was told a lot of things about why this could be the year," Rahm said, according to the Associated Press. "And I just didn't want to buy into it too much."

Rahm's winnings of $3.24 million were $630,000 more than Scheffler took home in 2022, "the largest year-over-year increase in tournament history," CBS Sports reported.

Scheffler won his second Masters title in three years, becoming the 18th person to win the tournament multiple times. At 27, he is also the fourth-youngest player in history to win twice — only Woods, Nicklaus, and Ballesteros were younger.

On the final day of the tournament, while his competitors' mistakes took them out of contention, Scheffler charged to victory, securing seven birdies — and three bogeys — and finishing his final round at 4 under par.

"I had a lot of really talented players trying to chase me down, and I knew pars weren't going to get it done," Scheffler told the Associated Press.

Ultimately, he bested his 2022 winning score by one, finishing with 11 under par. The score also put him four ahead of his runner-up, first-timer Ludvig Åberg of Sweden, who finished with 7 under.
