An enthralling US Masters which was ultimately decided on moving day. We weren't sweet on Matsuyama going in to the event, but his Saturday 65 put the tournament to bed. Despite some late wobbles coming home, he had enough in hand to take the green jacket.

THE MASTERS 

1pt ew Justin Thomas at 12/1: unplaced
0.5pt ew Tommy Fleetwood at 45/1: unplaced
0.5pt ew Si Woo Kim at 90/1: unplaced

JT was well in contention before his moving day 75 moved him the wrong way. Si Woo was at the pointy end of the leaderboard throughout, before finishing 1 shot outside the payout places. 

Five to Follow

Justin Thomas at 12/1: T21
Cam Smith at 40/1: T10
Paul Casey at 40/1: T26
Matt Kuchar at 100/1: MC
Si Woo Kim at 125/1: T12
