Sadly, The Masters is over for another year – but we’ve got a bumper edition of Social Eyes to catch up on all goings on from Augusta National.
When Jordan Spieth drained four birdie putts in a row before his back nine collapse, Ian Poulter revealed how much he’d be willing to pay for the 22-year-old’s putting stroke…
$20 million maybe $25 https://t.co/9cCBOWDFQp

He also couldn’t resist replying to a troll after Danny Willett secured his maiden major victory.
Speaking of Willett, was this Retweet a little uncalled for towards Spieth in the aftermath of his Masters win?
The after-party at the Englishman’s rented house went on until the early hours – 5.25am to be precise – with none other than Sir Alex Ferguson in attendance, looking slightly worse for wear. Worth noting that he allegedly had £8,000 on Spieth to win…
Proper night of celebrations last night sore head this morning but I think that might just be to do with my head trying to comprehend what has just happened #masters #golf #pgatour #europeantour

After playing his final round at The Masters on Friday, Tom Watson’s career was recognised by a very unlikely person: rapper Lil Wayne.
We can’t wait to see Watson’s ‘standing O’ at his concert.
With millions of people watching the first major of the year, it’s no surprise really that Twitter trolls were out in force. Rickie Fowler, who missed the cut, and Keegan Bradley, 13-over-par, bit back.
Quality guy here RT @RickBrosseau: Unfortunately you aren’t a part of the top 4 golfers in the world. Stop tearing up after a tough round

Before The Masters, Smylie Kaufman was interviewed and said he was living with his parents and driving a 2008 Nissan Murano. Well, after playing his way into the final group on Sunday, one of those things changed.
Good luck at #TheMasters, @SmylieKaufman10! Win or lose, we’ve got a 2016 Nissan Murano waiting to upgrade your 2008 pic.twitter.com/cOotvCvRC3

@NissanUSA @Nissan I’m glad I didn’t have to hit a hole in one to get one! I appreciate the unexpected surprise!

And finally…
The Ryder Cup tour started in Ireland this week with captain Darren Clarke – but the 2011 Open champion had to call on the help of a fellow motorist as he didn’t have any Euros for a toll road…
Big thank you to the gentleman who very kindly paid my €1.90 @ the northbound M50 toll station from Dublin this morning. #noeurocoinsintheX5

Sorry, I meant the northbound M1 toll station from Dublin! Ooops….jet lag! Anyway a big thanks to the kind guy again. #homesweethome

I think a pair of Ryder Cup tickets would be a better way of saying thanks, Darren!
