The Masters 2016: 5 things we learned

Five things we learned from the world of golf after The Masters 2016

The Masters 2016 has now come to a conclusion—Jim Nantz has occupied and taken up time in Butler Cabin, the Green Jacket has been awarded, and now everyone is clearing out of Augusta National Golf Club. Englishman Danny Willett won his first career Green Jacket and Major Championship with the victory this weekend and all the praise and adulation is directed toward the 28-year-old.

However, there’s much more to take away from The Masters than just the fact that Willett won. After all, there were a plethora of other storylines to follow as the leaderboard was seemingly a conglomerate of shuffling parts from Thursday to Sunday and the fact that the one constant at the top of the leaderboard in Jordan Spieth suffered one of the quickest collapses and implosions that we’ve ever seen at The Masters before.

Things always get crazy when it comes to The Masters and Augusta, but 2016 felt like it was just a notch wilder than ever before. Maybe it was things like Louis Oosthuizen deflecting his ball off another ball for a hole-in-one or the fact that it felt like anyone could win all weekend that made it feel that way, but that air was inescapable.

Now that the 2016 Masters has concluded, though, we can look back at everything at happened, figure out what’s important, and move forward from there. With that in mind, these are the five things we learned from The Masters 2016.
