Masters Purse 2013: Most Disappointing Finishes at Augusta on Sunday

Adam Scott took home the biggest share of the $8 million purse at the 2013 Masters on Sunday, but the financial intake for the rest of the field is also headed to the other 60 guys in contention after the Friday cut. 

Scott's $1.4 million piece of the pie was well-deserved. 

Struggling to find his stroke on the green all day, Scott made an incredible birdie putt on No. 18 before Angel Cabrera managed to force a playoff with an answer of his own. After a draw on 18 again in the first playoff hole, Scott made a putt that will forever live in Australian golf lore. 

Cabrera, Jason Day, Tiger Woods and Marc Leishman rounded out the biggest monetary winners from 2013 at Augusta. 

Elsewhere, the green jacket was really up for the taking. In one of the most wide-open fields in the history of the tournament, the playoff between Scott and Cabrera capped off a thrilling four-day stint in Georgia of golf's most talented stars. 

That doesn't mean everyone was a big winner from the Masters. 

In the spirit of fairness, here's a look at some of the guys that are going home "empty" after higher expectations were there for the plucking. Their pockets won't be empty, but their satisfaction will—making these guys bounce-back candidates at the next few PGA Tour events.

Biggest Disappointments from Final-Round Action

Brandt Snedeker—T-6th, $278,000 (+3, 75 on Sunday)

Poised to win his first Masters when the day began, Snedeker was having flashbacks to 2008 after Amen Corner and all through the back nine on Sunday at Augusta. 

Entering the day with a seven-under total score and a share of the lead, Snedeker was one of the odds-on favorites to complete the four-day marathon with a green jacket—which would have been his first career major win. 

Instead, Cabrera, the three Australians and Woods all overtook him on the leaderboard before the day was over. 

It really felt like this was Snedeker's year at Augusta. 

With a top-five ranking in the world and a share of the lead heading into the final round, the American couldn't make a short putt on No. 10 that would have put him only one stroke behind Cabrera with eight holes to play. 

Instead, he finished at three-over, and heads back to the drawing board. 

Bernhard Langer—T-25th, $56,040 (+4, 76 on Sunday)

It's almost a farce to include Langer on this list, since the two-time Masters champion is anything but an inexperienced golfer at Augusta. 

However, when you birdie three-straight holes to start your final round, it's disappointing when the wheels fall off the bus. 

That's exactly what the German former champion did, coming out hot out of the gate to start what could have been his third green jacket victory. At five-under through three holes, it looked like Langer (two back at the time) was going to be a dark horse candidate to join former champ Cabrera at the top of the leaderboard.

After two-straight birdies at No.'s 6 and 7, Langer never recovered. He had two double bogeys on the back nine and finished at two-over for the tournament—well back from his early perch on Sunday. 

With Fred Couples, Jim Furyk and Ben Crenshaw all well out of contention, it would have been quite the story to see Langer and Cabrera duke it out for another green jacket. As it is, the 55-year-old didn't have enough in the tank. 

Bubba Watson—T-50, $19,480 (+5, 77 on Sunday)

If you haven't seen Watson's 10-shot finish on the par-three 10th (via Deadspin), it will pretty much sum up his Masters experience. 

His four-day scorecard is littered with both birdies and bogeys, but the 10-spot on the final day of the tournament should show you just how off Watson was in an attempt to defending his Masters green jacket. 

The good news is that Watson is still an emerging golfer. 

That doesn't take away from the fact that the crowd expected more from Watson, in large part because he's one of the most charismatic guys on the tour. In any event, a five-over round in the final day is quite the disappointment, and Watson will join the other guys on this list in heading back to the drawing board. 

The good thing about golf, though, is you get to tee it up and do it all again the next week.
