Dustin Johnson woke up on Monday morning hoping his Masters triumph had not been a dream following his record-breaking exploits at Augusta National.
Johnson recovered from a somewhat shaky start to card a final round of 68 and win his second major title by five shots from Australia's Cameron Smith and South Korea's Sungjae Im.
The world number one's winning total of 20 under par set a new tournament record, beating the previous best of 18 under set by Tiger Woods in 1997 and equalled by Jordan Spieth in 2015.
"The Masters to me is the biggest tournament. It's the one I wanted to win the most. I'm just very proud of the way I handled myself and the way I finished off the golf tournament."
Johnson shared the triumph with his brother and caddie Austin, adding: "It's an unbelievable feeling to experience all this with my brother.
"He's been a big help being on my bag. I love him being on my bag and I wouldn't want anyone else there. To share all these memories and moments with him is incredible.
"I had to jab him a little on 18 because he was tearing up, made me tear up. I've still got to finish this off, I can't be crying. It was a lot of fun, I will remember this for the rest of my life."
