The Masters by numbers: Magic and misery at Augusta National

In the golf world, springtime means only one thing: the Masters.

The opening major of the season is one of sport's great spectacles, as the best golfers pit their wits against each other and the unique challenges of the Augusta National Golf Club.

Last year was no different as South Africa's Charl Schwartzel claimed his first Green Jacket, but the tournament will be remembered for Rory McIIroy's capitulation on the back nine on Sunday.

He started the final round four shots clear, but walked off the 18th green having carded an 80 to slip into a tie for 15th.

'It was a huge learning experience. I took a lot from it and took some of the things and put them into practice very quickly,' the Northern Irishman said Tuesday.

'The first time I played the back nine last week, I had these memories that come back and memories you don't want. That's fine. I got them out of the way.'

With Tiger Woods back in form and installed as favorite to claim a fifth title, the 76th edition of the Masters is poised to add another thrilling chapter to the history books.
