• Tiger's worst hole: a nightmare in 10 strokes

Little Dustin was turning off the lights on the

Weed Hills

practice field at age 13

.

It was the routine of every weekend: hitting balls until your hands hurt and it was time for dinner.

Just an hour from Columbus, Tiger Woods then astonished the world by achieving his first Augusta Masters with a 12-shot lead.

23 years later, it is Tiger himself who puts the green jacket on the new winner.

Woods hid with a smile, but took away a bitter memory of the tournament, 10 strokes on the 12th hole, his highest score ever signed at a golf hole.

Dustin Johnson swept this unusual Augusta Masters.

He was not satisfied with winning his first Masters (his second 'Major'), he did it with -20,

the lowest result in history

, with the fewest number of bogeys (4) ever committed by a winner

A comfortable lap of 68 strokes was more than enough, his -4 is another new record: the eleventh consecutive lap under par at Augusta, surpassing the 10 accumulated that Tiger Woods signed in his day.

"The Masters

is the tournament that I have always wanted to win

, since I was a child, so I have felt the pressure all day," admitted the champion.

A pressure imperceptible to the human eye.

On the field, Dustin does not transmit anything, not when he missed his 'approach' at hole 2 (first error of the day), nor when he made the final 'putt' at 18. His

apparent coldness

seems his best ally.

There was no option for anyone, a triumphant ride that defied the excitement of the tournament.

Not even

the bogeis in 4 and 5

gave emotion to the outcome, the rest had enough to survive in a more demanding field today.

Dustin quickly made up for his losing streak with

two birdies on the 6 and 8

.

His name on the trophy was already engraved.

The second nine holes were of resounding control with three birdies without error, no hint of the former Dustin with debacles in the final days, of the player unable to convert the four previous attempts in which he led a final day of a major.

Dustin even eclipsed the spectacular record of Australian

Cameron Smith

, tied for second place, as of today the only player in the history of the Masters to play four rounds under 70 strokes.

Smith and Korean Sungjae Im tied for second place, five strokes behind the winner.

At no time could

Rahm aspire to victory

, his bogey on the first hole ended up freezing his options.

For the second nine holes, the Spanish fell into the trap of hole 12 with a ball into the water and a double bogey, although he took the honor of finishing with eagle on 15 and birdies on 16 and 18 to finish in 7th position, his third consecutive top-ten in four appearances in the green jacket tournament.

Rafa Cabrera-Bello finished in 51st place with a par lap.
