Masters Leaderboard 2016: Twitter Reacts to Results and Standings from Sunday

Scott PolacekApr 10, 2016

Danny Willett won the 2016 Masters on Sunday in a career-defining achievement, but all social media truly cared about was Jordan Spieth's epic collapse.  

The defending green jacket winner turned what looked like a surefire win into a tie for second place thanks to a collapse that included a quadruple bogey on No. 12. Here is a look at Willett, Spieth and the rest of the top of the leaderboard:

Spieth appeared to have the Masters wrapped up after the front nine when he shot a four-under 32 that included birdies on Nos. 6, 7, 8 and 9. However, he bogied Nos. 10 and 11, and Doug Ferguson of the Associated Press put things into perspective:

Little did Ferguson know what would happen on No. 12. Spieth put the ball in the water on the par-three 12th, which Bob Harig of ESPN said was "THE mistake you cannot make," and ended up with a quadruple-bogey seven. Twitter did what it does best and made Jordan Spieth into Crying Jordan, courtesy of Cole Wright of NFL.com, Ryan Donnelly of Rivals and Tommy Scott: 

Just when it looked as if Twitter had run out of Crying Jordans, Jimmy Donofrio shared this masterpiece:

ESPN Stats & Info highlighted just how out of character the 12th hole was for Spieth:

Crying Jordan wasn't the only way Twitter captured Spieth's stretch from Nos. 10-12. ESPN's Jemele Hill, PGATour.com's Brian Wacker and ESPN's Russillo and Kanell jumped on the bandwagon as well:

Will Brinson of CBS Sports and Jay Busbee of Yahoo Sports were trying to figure out Spieth's shot chart on the disastrous 12th hole:

Marc Stein of ESPN noted word even spread to Spieth's fellow Under Armour sponsor:

Brittany Burke of NBC Sports shared the video of the moment:

Stephen Curry may have felt for Spieth, but that wasn't necessarily the case for competitor Rory McIlroy. Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune asked McIlroy if he empathized with Spieth, and the Northern Ireland star said, "Yeah. Of course. But he won this last year. So I don't feel too badly for him."

The collapse was all the more unfortunate for Spieth because he was so dominant throughout the first three rounds of the tournament and on Sunday's front nine. He was particularly clutch on the greens, and No Laying Up came up with a new use for his name:

Perhaps the only downside for Willett on Sunday is that his title was overshadowed by Spieth's struggles. Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch was doing the same thing as many fans tuning in for the final round:

Willett may not have even been the most famous member of his family on Twitter during the victory. His brother, author P.J. Willett, live tweeted the round, including these gems:

Willett's triumph was Spieth's failure, and the former Texas Longhorn had to stick around in the aftermath, as Jason Sobel of ESPN.com realized:

Luke Kerr-Dineen of USA Today captured that green jacket moment:

Amandeep Sansoa and Barstool Sports provided their takes on the interaction:

SB Nation GIF made sure there was one more Crying Jordan to make the cut:

Spieth and Willett weren't the only ones to make headlines on Sunday at Augusta. Louis Oosthuizen connected on one of the strangest holes-in-one golf fans will ever see, via PGA Tour:

Katie Nolan of Fox Sports summarized what many in the audience were thinking after the shot:

Adam Kramer of Bleacher Report was ready to hand Oosthuizen the trophy, while Chip Patterson of CBS Sports at least wanted him to share the credit for the shot:

The incredible hole-in-one was a temporary distraction from the main storyline of Spieth. The question now is whether he can quickly bounce back from such a collapse before the U.S. Open. Last year, he parlayed his Masters victory into a title at the U.S. Open and top-four finishes at the PGA Championship and The Open Championship. 

If nothing else, Sunday's outing extended his stretch of top-five finishes at the majors, which is impressive in its own right. A few more top-notch performances at the final three majors this year will go a long way toward helping him put Sunday's round well into the past. 

As for Willett, he will now be under the spotlight more than he ever was thanks to his Masters title. He will face new pressures and larger galleries, but he already proved on Sunday he can thrive under that type of pressure. 

For now, he can simply enjoy his green jacket.
