After becoming the oldest player to make the cut in the Masters, the 63-year-old German closed with a one-under 71 to finish at three-under 285 and a share of 29th.

Despite ranking last among the 60 weekend players in driving average, at 260 yards, Langer's experience and touch around the greens allowed him to finish ahead of plenty of younger players.

One of those Langer beat was Bryson DeChambeau, the longest hitter on the PGA Tour and the betting favourite coming into the week.

They played together on Sunday, with DeChambeau shooting a 73 to finish one stroke behind Langer in a share of 34th.
