ROUND 1
Trevor Immelman shot 4-under-par 68 to share the first-round lead with Justin Rose.
Immelman had four birdies and no bogeys in the opening round.
Three golfers -- Brian Bateman, Brandt Snedeker and Lee Westwood -- were one shot off the pace with 69s.
Defending champion Zach Johnson opened with 70.
ROUND 2
Immelman posted his second consecutive 68 to hold the 36-hole lead by one shot over Snedeker.
The South African finished off his round in style with birdies on Nos. 17 and 18.
The 36-hole cut fell at 3-over-par 147, and several notable players missed it. Fred Couples saw his streak of made cuts at Augusta National come to an end at 23.
ROUND 3
Moving day at the Masters produced plenty of fireworks after a rain delay of 45 minutes.
Immelman continued his torrid play, shooting 69 thanks to birdies on Nos. 8, 13, 14 and 18.
Snedeker remained in hot pursuit with 2-under 70 despite bogeys on all three holes at Amen Corner.
ROUND 4
Immelman earned his first major title and became the first winner to lead after all four rounds since 1980.
He closed with 3-over 75, tying the highest closing round for a Masters champion, but no one could mount a challenge to him on the final nine holes.
Tiger Woods finished as runner-up after shooting even-par 72. Stewart Cink and Snedeker finished tied for third.
