How Adam Scott Secured Victory
Scott's steady play, highlighted by a flawless final‑round 70, allowed him to overtake Cabrera's late surge. His 9‑under total tied the tournament record for lowest score at that time and marked the first win by an Australian at Augusta.
Historical Context: 2013 Within Masters History
- First non‑American winner since 2008 (Tiger Woods).
- Scott's 279 matched the 1997 Tiger Woods winning total.
- Only the 5th time a player won with a final‑round score of 70 or better at the Masters.
Notable Performances Beyond the Top 10
Several rising stars made headlines: Jordan Spieth, then 20, posted a 71‑71‑71‑69 run to finish tied for 4th, foreshadowing his 2015 Masters win. Rory McIlroy, a rookie at Augusta, recorded a 6‑under finish, the best debut since 2000.
Understanding Masters Scoring Terminology
At Augusta National, "to par" indicates strokes relative to the course's par‑72 layout. A score of –9 means the player completed four rounds in nine fewer strokes than the cumulative par of 288.
