Charl Schwartzel wins the 2011 Masters and bet365 happy with result after McIlroy’s collapse during final round at Augusta

bet365 were relieved to see Charl Schwartzel putting on the green jacket on Sunday after an unbelievable night of in-play betting during the final round of the 2011 US Masters.

bet365 spokesman Steve Freeth told Bettingpro: “We’ve just experienced record turnover in a scintillating final round of a Major.

“We were full up with McIlroy liabilities going into the final round, Luke Donald was a big loser ante-post whilst our Woods in-play book was horrendous with punters continuing to top up as Tiger went on the prowl on the front nine. He touched 2/1 at one stage and a victory would have seen us faced with our biggest ever golf payout.

“So much was happening at so many different holes it was all hands to the pump on the trading side and we managed to get the right result in the end, but not without a few scares along the way".

Back-to-form Tiger Woods is bet365’s 5/1 favourite for the 2012 US Masters with Rory McIlroy an 18/1 shot.
