The 2013 Masters green jacket now belongs to neither the east nor the west. For the first time ever, Australia has captured an elusive major.

Australian Adam Scott won his first green jacket at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia on a rainy Sunday, April 14, 2013.

The Australian needed two extra holes to deliver the victory to the continent down under. After four rounds, Scott and Argentinian Angel Cabrera had identical nine shots below par.

Scott birdied the 10th hole to beat Cabrera in the 2nd playoff hole. Both players settled for par during the first playoff hole at the 18th.

It was another disappointment for Tiger Woods who ended up tied with Marc Leishman for fourth place with a five under par.

Below is the list of top 10 players on the 2013 Masters Tournament Final Leaderboard.

Masters 2013 Leaderboard gets tight into the Final Round


Will Tiger Woods finally get his first victory at the Masters Tournament since 2008?

The leaderboard of the 2013 Masters Tournament is heating up as it heads into the final round on Sunday, April 14, 2013 at the Augusta National.

Woods will need all the breaks to overcome a 4-shot lead on Sunday's Final round. He will be paired with Tim Clark of South Africa who is currently tied with Woods at 7th place.

American Brandt Snedeker and former Masters champion Angel Cabrera are currently on top of the leaderboard and will be the final pair to play.

Snedeker had an incredible 12 consecutive pars, before getting birdies at holes 13, 15 and 16. Overall, Snedeker collected a total of 15 pars in a bogey free round.

Tournament officials provided a reprieve for Woods as they decided to just give a 2-shot penalty on the number one golfer in the world instead of disqualification. Woods is expected to make his move and be more aggressive in the final round.

Woods was penalized after he violated golf rules on free drop during the second round.

Can Woods pull off the victory and stop his drought in major tournaments?
