Masters Leaderboard 2014: Twitter Reacts to Day 4 Results and Standings

When Sunday started, there were five players tied or within two strokes of Bubba Watson at the top of the leaderboard. When the Masters ended, there weren't any. 

Watson put together a three-under 69 on Sunday, and after a thrilling back-and-forth battle with Jordan Spieth, he coasted through the back nine for the comfortable Masters win. 

Bleacher Report gave a look at the 35-year-old donning his second green jacket in three years:

Here's a look at the final leaderboard: 

As ESPN's Justin Ray pointed out, the victory puts the free-swinging Watson in a prestigious group at Augusta: 

Watson, who entered the day tied for the lead with Spieth, exchanged knockout punches with the 20-year-old early on, as the final pairing combined to pour in eight birdies on the front nine. 

As Spieth began to falter, though, Watson carried on with a birdie and seven pars on the back nine to close things out. 

His win continues the recent trend of left-handed success at Augusta, as ESPN Stats & Info and top-30 player Luke Donald noted: 

Ray gave a look at the projected jump in the world rankings for the top finishers:

Much of the talk before the fourth round got underway surrounded Spieth, who was looking to become the youngest winner ever yet really hadn't shown signs of his inexperience. 

The pressure finally appeared to kick in down the stretch, though, as he went into the water at No. 12, played the last 11 holes at plus-three and didn't have a birdie after No. 7. 

Still, he made it clear there were plenty of positive takeaways, via PGA Tour's Twitter feed and PGATour.com's Amanda Balionis:

He still managed to make some history, too, per Ray: 

Don't forget Jonas Blixt, either. The fellow Masters rookie shot a one-under 71—his third consecutive 71—to tie Spieth for second place. 

Hunter Mahan offered up praise for the unheralded 29-year-old, while Ray added some a couple of jaw-dropping stats: 

Spieth and Blixt very clearly have blindingly blight futures, but on Sunday, experience won out, leaving Watson to once again add to his ensemble.
