Thanks for joining us.
What a crazy final round.
Keep a look out on Fairfax Media online websites as I take a closer look at the "5 crazy moments of Masters Sunday".
There was talk on Twitter when Spieth rounded the 9th hole that this final round at the Masters was going to be boring.
The Masters doesn't start until the back nine on Sunday, though, right?
Spieth put his approach to the last hole high and then he missed a medium-range birdie putt.
He cleans up for par to finish with a +1 round of 73. That gives him -2 overall.
What a Sunday at the Masters. That is going to take a long time to get over for Spieth.
The narrative for this one will be a beauty to write up.
The son of a preacher man wins the Masters after Jordan Spieth capitulated around "Amen Corner".
Those who have been following Danny Willett's brother on Twitter during the final round have had some entertainment.
Here is a sampling:
Spieth misses the par putt and that makes it official.
Bogey for Spieth at 17.
As the putt skims past the cup, the TV cameras pan to Willett watching the action back in the clubhouse.
Sitting on a couch, he interrupts a phone call with his wife by lunging over to embrace his caddie.
"I'll call you back," he says to his wife.
He has just won the green jacket.
Spieth's attempt out of the bunker doesn't really get close - 10 feet to the right.
That is basically the tournament.
Even if he makes par here, Spieth would have to make a two at the long par four 18th to tie.
Willett is your new US Masters Champion.
"That's not even close to getting there".
The TV microphones picked up Spieth's assessment of his crucial approach shot into 17, which falls into the front greenside bunker.
He needs to go birdie-birdie over the last two holes and it now seems unlikely he can do that.
There has been one shot holed out of this bunker today, but this would be an incredible time to make it two.
Made par at 18 to give him a +1 round of 73 and a finish of tied 10th at +1 overall.
A disappointing week for the Australian. He had to think this was his year, especially after his scintillating front nine on day one.
But the back nine beat him all four days and he never really looked like threatening in the final round.
Spieth couldn't drop it to get within one and left himself a tough five-foot putt coming back up the hill for par.
Had he missed, the Masters was Wilett's but the American made the par to stay within two shots with two holes to play.
We are basically going to follow Spieth in from now on.
The 16th hole has produced so much chaos today, that you have to think Spieth can get at this pin.
And he does. Spieth lands it very close to the pin with his tee shot, rolling just past but within six-feet for birdie.
Massive play coming here.

But Jordan is not going to just give it to him.
The American shows his heart with another stunning approach tight on the pin into the par five 15th.
He then poured in the birdie putt to move to -3 and within two shots of Willett with three holes to play.
Meanwhile, Dustin Johnson has put himself out of contention with a double bogey on the par four 17th, which included several missed putts from close range.
His putter has let him down again in a Major.
