Not that we had expected anything else to come out of Augusta National, but the 2013 Masters was again a thrilling week of action that went down to the final shot of the day in an epic playoff battle.

He struggled to put together back-to-back birdies and could not get any momentum going, with his round of 77 all but killing off any chances he had this year—as has so often been the case for McIlroy at Augusta.
