By the end of Day 4 at the 2013 Masters, there was a nice mix of veterans and surprises.
Adam Scott captured his first career green jacket (and first major, for that matter) after winning a playoff against 42-year-old Angel Cabrera, becoming the first Australian to win the prestigious tournament.

Olesen had the best score in the group on Day 4 (four-under 68), while Scott was second with a three-under 69. Olesen ended the tournament with two 68s, while Scott ended it with two 69s.
Olesen's performance at the Masters should be noted. Not only was it the Dane's first career appearance at Augusta, it was also just his eighth career PGA Tour event. He's posted two top-10 finishes in five PGA Tour events this year, including a seventh-place finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He also finished ninth in his second career appearance at the British Open last year.
It's actually a good sign for Tiger that he finished fourth at the Masters despite his putting game failing him on the final day (1.72 putts per hole). He was 6-of-7 in sand-save attempts.
If the 14-time majors champion can get his putting game back on track, there's no reason to believe he can't capture a major this year.
As for Scott, he appears to be coming into his own right now. The 32-year-old has vastly improved his putting game this year, evidenced by his 20-foot putt on hole No. 18 and his 12-foot putt on the second playoff hole on Sunday.
Scott's performance at the Masters could be a springboard for the Australian moving forward.
