Golf: Schwartzel wins 75th Masters with closing birdie binge

South African Charl Schwartzel birdied the last four holes on Sunday to win the 75th Masters by two strokes over Australians Adam Scott and Jason Day in a dramatic back-nine showdown.

Schwartzel's third birdie in a row was a tension-packed eight-foot putt at the 17th hole that left him needing only to par the 18th to win his first major title at age 26.

Instead, he dropped a 15-footer for birdie to finish off a six-under par 66, the day's low round, and conclude 72 holes on 14-under par 274, denying Scott and Day their dream of becoming
the first Australian to capture a Masters title.
