The two South Korean pros at the Masters ended the first major championship of the men's golf season with up-and-down rounds on Sunday.

Bae Sang-moon, a two-time PGA Tour winner playing in his third Masters, finished at even-par 288, after shooting a one-under 71 on Sunday at Augusta National Golf Club. Bae scored two birdies and an eagle, along with three bogeys, and finished tied for 33rd with four others.

Noh Seung-yul, in his first Masters, finished one worse than Bae at one-over 289. His final round was an even more of a roller coaster, with six birdies, four bogeys and one triple bogey for a 73. He ended in an eight-way tie for 38th.

Bae finished the 2012 tournament at four-over 292 and missed the cut last year. He also called a penalty on himself on the par-4 seventh when the ball slightly moved on the green as he was getting ready to take his putt. Assessed a penalty stroke, Bae left the hole with a bogey.

Bae somewhat salvaged his day with an eagle on the par-4 14th.

With 165 yards to the pin, Bae struck an eight iron that landed on the back of the green and spun into the cub for his fifth career eagle at Augusta National.

Bae said afterward this year's Masters was a major learning experience.

"I prepared hard, but I now realize I have to work even harder," he said. "I didn't putt as well as I wanted to on all four days."

Noh's day could have been better if not for the triple bogey on the par-5 13th. His tee shot landed among the flowers on the left, and he needed five more shots to get on the green, where he two-putted for the dreaded snowman.

Noh did have his moment on the day, however, on the par-3 16th.

After putting his tee shot into the greenside bunker, he blasted it out past the hole and then watched it roll back into the cup for the birdie.

"It's been a fun week, and for the first time in a while, I felt the excitement and thrill of getting into competition," he said. "My swing is getting better now, and I hope to improve my short game."

Jordan Spieth completed a wire-to-wire victory with a round of 70 on Sunday. At 18-under 270, the 21-year-old tied the Masters scoring record, established by Tiger Woods in 1997, for his first major championship.

Spieth became the first golfer to reach 19-under at any point during a Masters with a birdie on the par-5 15th but bogeyed the par-4 18th to finish one shy of a record.

Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose tied for second at 14-under. No one came closer than three shots of the lead all day. (Yonhap)
