The 2017 Masters was one of the best ones we’ve seen in a while. For the first time since 2013, the first major championship of the year took more than 72 holes to decide.
When Sunday began, the Masters looked to be a free-for-all with several big names in contention. In the end, two of Europe’s best golfers — Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose — treated us to an epic duel. And for the first time in his career, we can call Sergio a major champion.
