Tiger Woods was crowned king of Augusta after a memorable week in Georgia.
The 43-year-old won his fifth Masters title and a first major title since 2008 after finished his round rounds on 13 under par.
While Woods' return to greatness was, of course, the main story, there were plenty of other memorable moments — good and bad — as recalled by DEREK LAWRENSON below.

Augusta National Women's Amateur
You could almost hear the collective groan in the media centre when Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley said they'd 'identified' women as a growth sector for the sport, which was certainly a weird way to describe half the world's population.
But this new event gave the much-neglected women's game a showcase they seized in thrilling fashion, with the duel between champion Jennifer Kupcho and Maria Fassi not only a wonderful advert but a worthy prequel to the Masters itself.
A great pleasure, too, to see the faces of so many people witnessing golf's Eden for the first time.

The New Fifth Tee
Amazing to think that where the tee is situated used to be a busy two-lane highway a couple of years ago. As ever with Augusta, you'd think it had been part of the grounds since the first Masters in 1934. I'm not usually a fan of adding length to holes to cope with the distance the ball travels these days but this one works because the new tee opens up a different vista and probably adds definition to what was previously a rather plain hole. It has also created a new viewing area for patrons behind the fourth green.
