Sergio Garcia wins The Masters, his first major title, in dramatic playoff

And now the 81st Masters Tournament is wide open.

Justin Rose of England and Sergio Garcia of Spain look on from the 12th tee during the final round of the 2017 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. Charl Schwartzel, who won here in 2011 with birdies on the final four holes, shot a 68 in the third round to move to 2 under and four shots behind.

They have a one-shot lead on Rickie Fowler, who said he's feeling as good as ever as he also pursues his first major title, and a two-shot advantage on Jordan Spieth, who has fought his way back to have a chance to win his second green jacket in three years and gain some retribution for his collapse a year ago.

Lee Westwood gave himself "half a chance" to win a first major title in the Masters after a superb third round at Augusta National.

Overall, 10 golfers have a solid shot at winning The Masters, entering the final round at -1 or better. "Hopefully I can keep trending that way", Rose said. "We fought back tremendously to have a chance to win this golf tournament, and no matter what happens at the end, we will have a chance to win with a really good round (Sunday)". "There's nothing that says I'm going to play bad or that I should play bad".

Seve Ballesteros would have turned 60 on Sunday.

"Just fighting hard", Garcia said. I mean, I don't want to get ahead of myself.

Rose, who started the day three off the lead, set the clubhouse lead for Garcia to match after an excellent back-nine around Augusta.

His peak at the Masters came in a run from 2000 through 2004 with five consecutive finishes in the top six, including runner-up finishes to Vijay Singh in 2000 and Phil Mickelson in 2004.

Rose shot a 5-under 67 on Saturday, which led the field. Like the 70 previous times he'd come to a major with high hopes, another one of golf's biggest events appeared destined to slip from his grip. "I hit some good shots, and I'm so happy". Spieth could be heard asking his caddie Michael Greller, who suggested a lay up, "What would Arnie do?". Rose was just over the back of the green in two, in position to turn a two-shot lead into four.

Like Garcia, Worksop's Westwood has always been considered one of Europe's finest players, only to have an excellent career somewhat tarnished by the absence of a major title. Hoffman lost his lead when he made double bogey on No. 16.

It took a late run to get to 75, a score he shot here in the opening round and his largest number in 16 career rounds at Augusta National. Lee Westwood, who finished second past year, is five adrift after an impressive 68 alongside Thomas Pieters. He would have been ready for the rest home if he'd had to watch his Spanish countryman lurch and spurt to his first major championship.

"You've got some studs up there", said Spieth, looking at the leaderboard.

Rose, the 36-year-old Englishman, shares the 54-hole lead at the Masters for the first time.

Spieth has one victory and two second-place finishes here in his only three Masters appearances. "So I took that seriously and I spent a lot of time working on my game to kind of overcome the criticism that I was receiving for the way I hit the golf ball".

"I had some chances on the back nine that I could have converted", said the four-time major victor. It's a good place to be since the victor has come out of that group 21 of the past 26 years.

The second-to-last group today, off at 2:35 p.m., will feature good friends Spieth and Fowler.
