History - Masters Tournament

Last year South Africa’s Charl Schwartzel became the latest to slip on the champion’s green as 2010 champ Phil Mickelson helped him into the legendary jacket that is awarded to one lucky Masters Champion each year. It was all thanks to one of the most thrilling finishes to a Major Championship in years as Schwartzel carded four birdies in a row to finish, and triumph over what was an extremely talented chasing pack. This stunning climax gave him a two shot win, and in turn made him the third South African to win at Augusta after Trevor Immelman in 2008 and Gary Player in 1961, 74, 78.
