The Masters Tournament was within reach for Australian Jason Day this past Sunday, but alas, his hopes of a first major championship and green jacket slipped away on the back nine at Augusta.

While it was heartbreaking to watch the 25-year-old have yet another Masters victory slip away in the final round (similar to 2011), I was more impressed with the way the young Aussie walked off the 18th green.
