Dutchman Joost Luiten finished his final round of the 78th Masters as the leaders set off but the Ryder Cup hopeful was delighted after his superb 67 at Augusta National.
Luiten birdied four of the last five holes to finish on four-over-par 292 on his tournament debut, taking advantage of some more generous pin positions than in Saturday’s third round.
“It feels really good to shoot 67 on Sunday at the Masters,” said Luiten, who made the halfway cut on the mark of four over before a third round of 77. “I look at my tournament and I’m very happy. Yesterday was a little bit of an off-day. You need four good days to compete here.”
Former champion Bubba Watson and fellow American Jordan Spieth shared the lead on five under par heading into the final round, the 20-year-old Spieth looking to become the youngest Masters champion and first to win on debut since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979.
