Matt Fitzpatrick secured an invite to next year's Masters with a sparkling final-round 67 on Sunday.
With the top 12 getting an invitation to return to Augusta next year, the 21-year-old from Sheffield moved through the field with a stunning five-under-par round to set the early clubhouse lead by finishing level par for the championship.
Starting the day at five-over, the youngster mixed six birdies with just one dropped shot to finish a memorable week in fabulous style and break 70 for the first time at Augusta.
Four birdies in the last five holes including a gain at the 18th ensured Fitzpatrick, who claimed the British Masters at Woburn last year, will be back next year.
"It was fantastic. I am not going to lie I was nervous. It is a different type of nerves playing a major on a Sunday," Fitzpatrick told Sky Sports.
"You are just trying to go low and keep the momentum. Coming in I hit some great shots, I hit every green from the 12th and that is important around here."
The round was equally incredible given the tournament is Fitzpatrick's first since turning professional in 2014, his three previous majors had been as an amateur, and he intends to use all the experience gained.
"It is great experience for me - my second round score messed me up a little bit but it is one of those that you learn from and now I feel like I know I can go low particularly on a Sunday in a major," he added.
"When you have done it once you feel like you can do it again if your game is in the right shape. For me knowing that it is a real help going forward."
Meanwhile, Paul Casey was another Englishman to produce a spectacular round playing in his tenth Masters, his round of 67 was his best effort at the course and got him to one-under-par for the Masters
Casey hailed one of the best rounds of golf and also paid tribute to new caddie John McLaren.
"It was really solid round of golf, I really feel I missed maybe just two possibilities where i could have picked up another shot," he told Sky Sports.
"There is no question he [McLaren] has already elevated everything I do," he added.
"He is somebody I have got the utmost respect for, He had about six unbelieable years with Luke Donald - they got to world number one and won all over the globe. That is something I want to emulate.
"Luke is an unbelieavble golfer but he [McLaren] certainly brought something to the party and he is already doing that with my game."
Lee Westwood was also left to reflect on another close-run thing, playing alongside champion Willett his final round moved him into a share of second spot and he was delighted after a lack of golf so far this season.
