Find out who the winners and losers were at the Masters this week, including Dustin Johnson, Bernhard Langer and Bryson DeChambeau.

Each week on the PGA Tour, there are those who do great things and those who falter. Here are ProGolfNow, we call them winners and losers. Here are this week’s winners and losers from the Masters.

Winners

Dustin Johnson – Quite simply, he was the best player in the field this week. Johnson blew away the field to claim his first Masters title and his second major championship. He continues to be the best player in the world and doesn’t show any signs of letting up.

Sungjae Im – Just 22 years old, Im made a charge on Sunday while playing in his first Masters. He would get close to DJ, but he was unable to catch him. Still, Im showed a steady game this week and finished in a tie for second. It was an outstanding debut for a player who could one day win at Augusta.

Cameron Smith – The Australian, playing in his fourth Masters, recorded his best finish in any major by placing second. He is the first player to ever shoot four rounds in the 60s in the same Masters and he set the record for lowest score by someone to not win the Masters (15-under). Still just 27 years old, Smith’s best golf is ahead of him.

Dylan Frittelli – The South African had an up-and-down week at Augusta, shooting 65-73-67-72. He’s left to wonder what might have been, but he can also bask in the fact that he finished in a tie for fifth place. It was by far the best-ever finish in a major championship for the long-hitting Frittelli.

Bernard Langer – At 63 years and two months old, Langer made the cut at this year’s Masters. In the process, he became the oldest player to ever make the cut in the event. Langer finished at 3-under par, topping a number of players who are half his age.

Losers

Bryson DeChambeau – After proclaiming that he was playing Augusta National as a par 67 prior to the event, DeChambeau promptly shot 70-74 the first two days. To his credit, he did bounce back with a nice weekend. But overall, not a good week for the U.S. Open champion.

Matthew Wolff – He put himself in position to make the cut in his first trip to the Masters after a 70 on Thursday. But he blew up on Friday with a 77 and did not get to play the weekend. Some had hopes that Wolff could sneak his way into the top 10 this week, but he was not prepared for that just yet.

Tyrrell Hatton – This is a guy who seemed to be ready to make a major statement. He has played well on both sides of the pond this year and he has the short game to take on Augusta. Instead, Hatton shot 73-74 to miss the cut.

Francesco Molinari – As we detailed earlier in the week, Molinari has not been the same since blowing his lead at the Masters last year. That trend continued this week as the Italian shot 72-78 to miss the cut by a long shot.

Jason Day – After shooting a 2-under par 70 on Thursday, Day appeared to be in fine shape to not only make the cut, but to possibly contend. Then, he shot a 78 on Friday to take himself out of contention and outside the cut line.
