Masters 2020 Result: Dustin Johnson breaks Augusta National record held by Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth to claim Green Jacket and share of whopping $11.5million prize money
Dustin Johnson finished a record 20 under par to win the 2020 Masters at Augusta and claim the fabled Green Jacket.
The PGA Tour Player of the Year claimed just the second major of his career, surpassing the previous course record held by Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth.
Johnson finished five shots clear of Sung-Jae Im and Cameron Smith to claim a share of second-place money.
The World No.1 succeeds Tiger Woods in possession of one of the most famous items of clothing in sport on the same day last year’s winner took TEN shots on the 12th hole.
Smith and Im's totals of 15 under par are the best by a runner-up in tournament history and Smith also became the first player to break 70 in all four rounds, but Johnson was a class apart and now has two wins, three runners-up finishes, a third and a sixth in his last seven starts.
Johnson was aiming to be the first world number one to win the Masters since Woods in 2002, but had been 0-4 when leading or sharing the lead after 54 holes in a major championship.
The 36-year-old took a three-shot lead into the final round of the US Open at Pebble Beach in 2010 but collapsed to a closing 82, while five years later he three-putted from 12 feet on the 72nd hole at Chambers Bay to finish a shot behind Jordan Spieth.
Johnson finally secured his first major title in the 2016 US Open at Oakmont, but he fell from tied first to eighth at Shinnecock Hills two years later and failed to convert a one-shot lead in the US PGA Championship in August.
But birdies on the 14th and 15th made him the first player in tournament history to reach 20 under par.
Away from the battle for the title, defending champion Tiger Woods suffered a nightmare on the par-three 12th, hitting three balls into the water and eventually two-putting for a 10, the highest score of his entire career.
However, the 15-time major responded in incredible fashion with five birdies in the last six holes to restore some pride and complete a closing 76.
