All it took was one disastrous hole on Sunday for Jordan Spieth to undo all the good work he had put in over the course of nearly four full rounds at the 2016 Masters.

Winner of the 2015 tournament at Augusta National Golf Club and atop the leaderboard after the first three rounds of this year's edition, Spieth would knock two shots into the water on the par-three 12th hole on Sunday and two-putt once he finally made it onto the green for a quadruple bogey. This came on the heels of bogeys on the 10th and 11th holes.

The No. 12 disaster sunk his tournament score from five under to one under, and he would go on to finish with a final-round score of 73.

His inconceivable meltdown paved the way for England's Danny Willett to win the 2016 Masters, the first major win of his career and his first PGA Tour win of any kind since turning pro in 2008. 

Here's the final leaderboard from the competition: 



Willett shot a 67 on Sunday with five birdies and no bogeys. Three of those birdies came on the final six holes. It was the only round of the tournament in which he didn't shoot above par. The Englishman needed every bit of that unblemished round, as he beat Spieth by only three strokes.

Willett said he was happy to be in a position to win when it all went belly up for Spieth, per ESPN.com's Jason Sobel:

I just feel fortunate that I was in the position that I was to pounce on the opportunity to accomplish it. If I had been 5 over par, then it wouldn't have mattered what Jordan had done. Fortunately I was in a position where we were in second place, playing quite nicely, and as a result of him doing what he did, we were able to stay at the lead.


His recent play on the PGA Tour didn't do a whole lot to suggest he would emerge as Masters champion. The 28-year-old did manage a third-place finish at the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship on March...
