It was a tight race heading into the fourth and final round of the 2014 Masters. Veteran Bubba Watson and youngster Jordan Spieth were tied at five-under par heading into Sunday. On the front nine Spieth took a lead, up by two strokes on two different occasions. The end of the front nine is where the momentum began to swing and the leaderboard flip flopped.

Spieth bogeyed two holes in a row, both holes Watson birdied on to completely reverse a two-stroke lead. They got within one-stroke of one another again but by the 13th Watson extended his lead to three-strokes as Spieth had a bit of bad luck hitting a water hazard.
