Relive all the action from the final day at The Masters where Tiger Woods has won his first major in 11 years to complete one of the greatest comebacks sport has ever seen.

Woods went into the opening day two shots off overnight leader Francesco Molinari, with the Italian sitting clear on -13. But as the reigning Open champion wilted under the pressure of leading at Augusta, Woods surged into the lead to move clear on -14 with two holes to play. Despite the chasing pack of Dustin Johnson, Xander Schauffele and Brroks Koepka all reaching the clubhouse on -12, there was no stopping Woods.

Waling up the 18th to one of the biggest ovations Augusta has ever witnessed, Woods saw playing partners Molinari and Tony Finau whole out to complete their strong performances, and despite failing to make par on the last to drop to -13, he sealed possibly the most incredible victory seen at The Masters. Follow the live reaction below.
