That was gripping, truly gripping. I was perplexed at how Sergio Garcia suddenly looked beat around the turn. He'd done little wrong but his body language just transformed, he looks almost weak in the face of challenge.

But then, remarkably, he found something. That eagle putt on on 15 was as true a sporting moment as you'll see anywhere. Wow, just wow.

The whole of the golfing world is crying. It's one of those occasions that really stirs the emotions.

If there was anybody deserving to win, it was Sergio. This is has made him a legend in the game.

BBC commentator at Augusta

It seemed he would never, never win a major.

The hugs flow. Players and wives wait off the green and embrace the champion. His fiancee looks more stunned than he does. They embrace and embrace again.

He shouts to the heavens, his voice almost giving way halfway through.

Sergio Garcia becomes the major winner who has endured the longest wait to land one of the big four.

Mark O'Meara won at the 1998 Masters in his 56th major. Tom Kite's win in the 1992 US Open was his 71st major. Sergio is playing his 74th.

Can you believe it? All the waiting, all the doubters, these scenes are packed with emotion.

He only needed one of the two putts he had in hand, the ball almost circling the cup before dropping as if to tease him just one more time.

Sergio Garcia has 12 ft and two putts to end decades of waiting...

Sergio wipes is putter grip as Justin Rose prepares. Wipe your palms too sir.

Here comes the putt, good weight, great weight, line is... off. He misses left and it looks like Sergio Garcia will...

It will be Justin Rose first. It has to go in. If it doesn't Sergio will have two for the win.

Right now, Garcia is probably praying for an easier finish. Rose sizes things up...

That shot was a lot better than Justin Rose's body language indicated.

Justin Rose has to apply the pressure now. If this is wayward Sergio Garcia will be all but home. A delicious sound as club meets ball and a tasty outcome. He's around 15ft away, outside of Garcia's ball but that putt is makable.

A reminder, Rose will putt for a four, Garcia has a look from closer in for three.

Sergio Garcia, the hush at Augusta deafening, swipes through the ball and we wait for it to drop, looks good, is good, 12ft or so left for the win... what a shot.

Justin Rose cannot go for the green as he's under tree branches, he will have to nudge one out into the fairway. He does so, though not cleanly and his ball runs up the fairway.

Over to you Sergio, huge advantage...

These were the reactions when each man missed their putt on 18 in regulation play. Feel those emotions people.

I'm not sure of Justin Rose's view of the green from there. He is going to have to play a low, punchy shot and get a lot of cut which is not going to be easy off the pine needles.

Sergio Garcia, by contrast, has a perfect angle to get the ball on the green. All it is is a little nine iron.

Justin Rose gets a huge helping hand for the second time in his last three shots here at this tournament. His drive on this 18th is way right, it's threatening the car park, and it strikes a tree to land in the pine needles. Still far from ideal but that could have been deep in the woods.

Sergio Garcia steps up, gutsy look on his face, fires up the middle. 

Advantage Spain.
