The history of the Masters is littered with improbable collapses. On Sunday, Jordan Spieth became the latest golfer to nosedive at Augusta National Golf Club. The 22-year-old squandered a five-shot lead on the final day of the 2016 Masters, opening the door for Danny Willett to win his first green jacket on the famed Georgia course.

At five under for the tournament, Willett finished three strokes ahead of Spieth and Lee Westwood: 



Spieth looked to be free and clear after closing out the front nine with four straight birdies. Golf Digest's Dan Jenkins knew it was way too early to begin Spieth's coronation, though:



The tweet proved prophetic as the reigning champion bogeyed the 10th and 11th holes and unraveled on No. 12. His drive ended up in the water, and following a drop, he chunked his third shot, not even watching the trajectory of the ball as it landed in the hazard for a second time.

Spieth eventually settled for a quadruple bogey on the hole, which dropped him from five under to one under for the tournament. Yahoo Sports' Jay Busbee provided Spieth's shot tracker for the hole, which didn't make for pleasant viewing:



Dan Wetzel of Yahoo Sports saw similarities between Spieth's final round and another historic Masters collapse:



Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry didn't take the news well when made aware of Spieth's quadruple bogey, per Julie Phayer:



CSNBayArea.com caught Curry's reaction from the moment teammate Andre Iguodala told him what happened: 



As a result, Willett climbed into first place. Although the circumstances surrounding his win will unquestionably overshadow the victory itself, the 28-year-old deserves credit for what was an excellent round. Willett's five-under 67 tied for the lowest score of the day, and he avoided picking up any bogeys.
