Scott and Cabrera finished in a tie at 9-under after 72 holes. The Masters' second-straight foray into a playoff lasted just two holes, however. Scott made birdie on No. 10 to become the first Australian to win the Masters. Cabrera finished in second place, but at least he'll take home a cool $864,000.

Jason Day earned $544,000 for finishing third, and Tiger Woods and Marc Leishman split the combined money that would have gone to the individual fourth and fifth place finishers after tying for fourth. You can check out how the money breaks down (unofficially, still) for the Top 10 finishers below:
