Adam Scott has ended a long 73-year Australian wait to win The Masters.

Scott brilliantly birdied the second extra hole after in a final round 69 left him tied with Argentina’s Angel Cabrera.

Scott’s victory also made ammends in losing last year’s Open Championship to capture his first Major and at his 12th Masters, and also two years after finishing joint runner-up with fellow Australian Jason Day.

Jim Ferrier was the first Australian to compete in the Masters in 1940 and since then there has been 40 Australians driving down Magnolia Lane and looking to the leave the Georgia golfing gem wearing the famed green jacket.

And now after being fitted with an Australian Masters gold jacket late last year, Scott has been fitted with the most sought after item of clothing in all of golf – a size 40R Augusta National members jacket.

Adam Scott shakes hand with Masters Chairman, Billy Payne.

Scott was then asked early in his post Masters victory press conference what reaction there would be to his victory back home in his beloved Australia.

“I guess when I get home I’ll find out,” he said.

“But you know, I’ve said it in here before, but we are a proud sporting country, and like to think we are the best at everything, like any proud sporting country.

“But you know, golf is a big sport at home.  It may not be the biggest sport, but it’s been a sport that’s been followed with a long list of great players, and this was one thing in golf that we had not been able to achieve.

“So it’s amazing that it’s my destiny to be the first Aussie to win, just incredible.”
