What happened at the 1985 Masters

Langer birdied four of his last seven holes to become the second European Masters champion and the first from Germany (then West Germany).

Curtis Strange, who opened with an 80, led on the back nine Sunday but found water going for the greens in two at 13 and 15 and finished two behind.
