Jordan Spieth was tonight crowned the youngest Masters winner since Tiger Woods following a spectacular, record-breaking performance.
The 21-year-old Texan, who is now the world number two golfer after Rory McIlroy, was awarded the coveted green jacket after achieving 18-under par with a final score of 70 - the same score that gave Woods his first green-jacket 18 years ago - and setting new standards for the 36 and 54 holes.
Donning a blue top, a cap and white pants, Spieth was captured embracing his tearful high school sweetheart, Annie Verret, his mother, Chris, his father, Shawn, his younger brother, Steven and his grandfather, Bob. He then walking past the cheering crowds with a beaming smile on his face.
The golfer, whose life-long dream has been to win the Masters, was undoubtedly being watched on television at home by his youngest sibling, Ellie, who was born with a neurological disorder that places her on the autism spectrum. Ellie has helped to keep Spieth grounded, according to their mother.
Speaking after his win, Spieth said: 'It was very nerve-wracking today. I didn't sleep all last night. Just got out here and got in a little rhythm. With two major champions right behind, I couldn't let up. It was the most incredible week of my life. This is as great as it gets in our sport. It was remarkable.
He added: 'I saw my family and friends right behind the green there, and knew it was going to be a done deal. I'm still kind of in shock a little bit.'
Spieth's victory comes a year after he lost a bid to become the youngest player to win the Masters. This year, he did not let anyone get closer to him than three shots following his record start. He closed with a 2-under 70, missing a 5-foot par putt on the final hole that would have set another record.

'It's awfully impressive,' McIlroy said of the young star, after finishing fourth. 'It's nice to get your major tally up and running at an early stage in your career. It's great to see, great for the game, and I'm sure there will be many more.' Spieth also beat out the likes of Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose.
Rose, who finished on 14-under, had nothing but praise for the 21-year-old champion. 'Jordan is just so comfortable with the lead. Awesome composure, every time I thought maybe there was a chink in the armour, he'd come out and hole an eight-foot putt,' he told reporters.
'There's many players in the Tiger era who have rued when Tiger won it by 15 or 12. Ernie Els, for example, could have won a bunch more major championships if it wasn't for one guy. Jordan seems to have that same quality right now.'
He added: 'I was really happy with the way I felt today on the golf course, how composed I was and how in control of my emotions I was.'
Spieth, who finished four shots clear of the field, has now become the first wire-to-wire winner at the Masters since Raymond Floyd in 1976, and the second youngest Masters winner of all time. Following his win, he was given his green jacket by multiple major golf champion, Bubba Watson
On the advice of his father, he also did a lap of honour for all the patrons around the 18th green. Speaking in the Butler cabin, Speith said the win 'was really great to share that experience with my family who weren't there any of the couple of times I had one so to be at this one was special.'
And when asked what was next for him, having fulfilled a life-long ambition, he replied: 'I want to be like Bubba (Watson), I want to win two Masters!
He continued: 'I'm excited already to come back, I'm excited for the opportunity ahead this year to be the reigning Masters champion, I know that's going to carry a heavy weight with it and I hope to be ready for it.'
