The 2023 Masters Tournament was the 87th edition of the Masters Tournament and the first of the men's four major golf championships held in 2023. The tournament was played from April 6–9 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, United States.

Jon Rahm became the fourth Spaniard to win the Masters, shooting a three-under-par 69 in the final round for 276 (–12), four strokes ahead of runners-up Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson. Seeking his fifth major championship, Koepka led by two shots after the third round, but shot 75 to drop to second. Ten shots back, 52-year-old Mickelson recorded a 65 (–7) to jump into a tie for second, becoming the oldest player in Masters history to finish inside the top five.[1][2][3]

The most notable change for 2023 came at the par-5 13th hole, where Augusta National purchased land from the adjacent Augusta Country Club that allowed it to push the tee boxes further back. The dogleg hole's length was extended to 545 yards (498 m), an increase of forty yards (37 m).[4]

Round summaries

[edit]

First round

[edit]

Thursday, April 6, 2023

At the conclusion to the first round, the lead was shared by three players, Viktor Hovland, Brooks Koepka, and Jon Rahm, who returned scores of 65 (7 under par). Rahm began his round with a double-bogey on the first hole after taking four putts; he was nine under par for the remainder of his round, including an eagle on the eighth hole. Hovland had no bogeys in his round; he made five birdies, and an eagle on the second hole. Koepka was five under par through 12 holes and, following a bogey on the thirteenth hole, birdied three of the last four holes to tie for the lead.[15][16][17]

Cameron Young made a birdie on each of the first three holes and finished on 67 (5 under par), alongside Jason Day in a tie for fourth place.[18][19] Reigning U.S. Amateur champion Sam Bennett started his round with a birdie on the first hole and an eagle on the second; he made another birdie on the sixth hole followed by twelve straight pars for a four under par round of 68. He was the first amateur to be placed in the top 10 after the first round since Ryan Moore in 2005. He was part of a seven-way tie for sixth place along with defending champion Scottie Scheffler, Sam Burns, Shane Lowry, Xander Schauffele, Adam Scott and Gary Woodland.[20][21][22]

63-year-old Fred Couples, the 1992 champion, scored 71 (1 under par), as did 2020 champion Dustin Johnson and three-time champion Phil Mickelson. Rory McIlroy made five birdies, three bogeys and a double-bogey to finish on 72 (even par). Tiger Woods bogeyed three of the first seven holes and was three over par before making birdies on the 15th and 16th holes; he made another bogey on the 18th to finish on 74, in a tie for 54th place.[23][24]

Two players withdrew from the tournament. Kevin Na was unwell and stopped playing after nine holes,[25] and Will Zalatoris withdrew prior to the start of his round with an injury.[11]

Second round

[edit]

Friday, April 7, 2023
Saturday, April 8, 2023

On Friday, tee times were moved forward 30 minutes to accommodate possible inclement weather. The second round of the tournament was suspended twice on Friday due to the threat of approaching thunderstorms; with play being suspended for the day following the second stoppage and resuming on Saturday. A few moments before the second suspension, three trees fell near the 17th tee.[27]

Brooks Koepka made three birdies and an eagle in a round of 67 (5 under par) to take a two-shot lead after 36 holes. Koepka's total of 132 (12 under par) was the third-best 36-hole score in Masters history, behind Jordan Spieth in 2015 and Raymond Floyd in 1976.[28][29] Jon Rahm was two under par for his round, three behind Koepka, when play was suspended for the day on Friday; having resumed his round on Saturday morning, he made three birdies and two bogeys on the back nine to finish at 134 (10 under par), two off the lead and in second place. It was the first time in Masters history that two players finished the second round double-digits under par.[30]

Sam Bennett had a second round of 68 to lie in third place, four behind Koepka. His two-round total of 136 (8 under par) was the best by an amateur through 36 holes since Ken Venturi in 1956, and he was the first amateur to finish the second round inside the top three on the leaderboard since Ricky Barnes in 2003.[31][32][33] Viktor Hovland and Collin Morikawa were tied for fourth place on 138 (6 under par), with Sam Burns, Jason Day, Jordan Spieth and Cameron Young a further stroke behind in a tie for sixth place.

The cut came at 147 (3 over par), with 54 players making it to the weekend. Tiger Woods finished at three over par after bogeys on his final two holes but made the cut for the record-tying 23rd consecutive Masters.[34] Fred Couples, the 1992 champion, made the cut at +1, becoming the oldest player to make the cut at the Masters at the age of 63 years, six months. He surpassed Bernhard Langer, who had set the record in 2020 at 63 years, two months.[35] Notable players to miss the cut included reigning PGA Champion Justin Thomas, 2020 U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau, and four-time major champion and world number two Rory McIlroy. Larry Mize and Sandy Lyle, champions in 1987 and 1988, both missed the cut in their final Masters appearances.[34][36]

There was one withdrawal during the second round: Louis Oosthuizen, who withdrew prior to the resumption of play on Saturday, having completed 17 holes on Friday before play was suspended.[37]

Third round

[edit]

Saturday, April 8, 2023
Sunday, April 9, 2023

With persistent rain causing several greens to become unplayable due to flooding, play was suspended for the day at 3:16 pm Eastern time on Saturday. At the time, Brooks Koepka was leading by 4 strokes over playing partner Jon Rahm, with both men on the seventh green.[38][39]

When play resumed on Sunday, Koepka's lead was quickly halved as he made a bogey and a birdie on the seventh and eighth holes, while Rahm made two birdies. The lead was reduced to one stroke on the 12th hole when Koepka made a bogey. Further bogeys by Rahm at the 13th and 16th holes, and by Koepka on the 17th meant both players were round in 73 strokes (1 over par) and Koepka took a two-stroke lead into the final round later in the day.[40][41]

Viktor Hovland was three over par on his round through ten holes but made five consecutive birdies on holes 11 through 15 to finish at 70 (2 under par) and move up to third place, one stroke behind Rahm.[42] Patrick Cantlay made three straight birdies on the front nine and three more on the back in a round of 68 (4 under par) to move into fourth place. Hideki Matsuyama, the 2021 champion, began his round with a bogey and double-bogey but was five under par for holes 8 through 15, which lifted him into a tie for fifth place with Russell Henley. Sam Bennett made only one birdie in his round of 76 (4 over par) to fall to seventh place alongside Collin Morikawa; he became the first amateur to enter the final round of the Masters inside the top-10 since Deane Beman in 1964.[43]

Tiger Woods withdrew due to injury prior to the resumption of play on Sunday.[44]

Jon Rahm came from two shots behind at the start of the final round to become the fourth Spaniard to win the Masters title.[1]

Rahm birdied the third hole and tied Brooks Koepka for the lead when Koepka missed a par putt on the fourth. Koepka also bogeyed the sixth hole and Rahm took a two-shot lead when he chipped to four feet on the par-5 eighth hole and made the putt for birdie, while Koepka missed a long birdie putt after being forced to chip out from the trees off his drive.[45] Both players bogeyed the ninth hole, Rahm when his approach shot spun off the front of the green into the fairway. Koepka added another bogey on the par-3 12th when his tee shot went over the green and he left his chip shot short. Now leading Koepka by three shots, Rahm chipped to within five feet on the par-5 13th and made birdie, while Koepka also birdied the hole after getting up and down from off the green, his first birdie in 23 holes.[46]

Rahm hit his approach into the 14th hole to four feet and made the putt to get to 12-under for the tournament. He parred his last four holes, including an up-and-down from short of the green on the 18th, to win his second major championship and first career Masters with a three-under 69.[47][48] Koepka, meanwhile, three-putted for bogey on 14 to fall to third place but made consecutive birdies on holes 15–16 to get back to nine-under. Another bogey on the 17th left him at eight-under for the tournament with a three-over 75 in the final round.[49][3]

Three-time champion Phil Mickelson began the final round 10 shots off the lead before going two-under on his front nine. He holed a 23-foot putt for birdie on the 12th and two-putted for birdie on both the 13th and 15th. At the 17th, his approach shot settled within a foot of the hole for another birdie. He then closed his round with an 11-foot putt for birdie on the 18th, finishing with a seven-under 65 to tie Koepka for second place. The round tied Mickelson's best career score at the Masters and was the lowest by a player over the age of 50. He also became the oldest player to finish in the top-five at the Masters, surpassing the record of Jimmy Demaret in 1962.[2][50]

Jordan Spieth, the 2015 champion, was playing with Mickelson and made six birdies from holes 8 to 17 as he went seven-under on his round before a bogey at the last. He finished with a 66 (−6) and tied for fourth place, his nine birdies tying the Masters record for most in a final round.[51] Another past champion, Patrick Reed, double-bogeyed the second hole but made six birdies over his next 11 holes. He also birdied the 18th hole to shoot 68 (−4) and tie Spieth for fourth, along with Russell Henley.[52]

Viktor Hovland, who began the round three shots off the lead, did not make a birdie until the 13th and double-bogeyed the sixth as he fell back with a two-over 74, finishing tied for seventh place. Cameron Young eagled the 13th and birdied 17 to get to seven-under, but dropped back to six-under with a closing bogey to tie Hovland. Sahith Theegala, playing in his first Masters, chipped in for birdie on the 16th as he shot 67 (−5) to climb into the top 10 and finish alone in ninth place. Defending champion Scottie Scheffler was four-under on his round and within four shots of the lead before hitting his tee shot on the 12th into the bushes over the green, leading to a double-bogey after taking a drop; he finished at four-under, tied for 10th place. Sam Bennett began the round in seventh place but made only one birdie as he shot 74 (+2). His 16th-place finish was the best by an amateur since Ryan Moore was 13th in 2005.[53][54][55]
