Nick Dougherty took plenty of positives from his Masters debut despite closing his week with a five-over 76.
The Liverpudlian was one of the few players to break 70 on Friday after a birdie blitz on the back nine helped him to a three-under 69 and he briefly moved into the top 10 on Saturday after early birdies in round three.
But despite slipping away on Sunday and closing with two bogeys to finish outside the top 30, Dougherty reflected: "It's been a superb week. I've thoroughly enjoyed myself.
"I would like to have scored better over the weekend, but I'm delighted to play all four days and I think I've done myself proud. It's been memorable and I think I've taken a lot out of it."
