The Masters is undoubtedly the crown jewel of golf's major tournaments, and golf aficionados were lucky enough to experience it twice in a five-month span after COVID-19 caused a 19-month wait from 2019 to 2020.
With the pandemic still active, The Masters didn't quite return to its normal level of spectacle at Augusta National this week for its 85th anniversary. For the second year in a row, the Par-3 Contest was canceled and the number of patrons on the grounds was limited.
What transpired on the course, however, will not soon be forgotten.
Japanese golfer Hideki Matsuyama emerged victorious at the end of Sunday's action to clinch his first major win.
