An emotional Bernhard Langer fought back tears as he contemplated making his 41st and final appearance in the Masters this week.

The 67-year-old German, who won the green jacket in 1985 and 1993, is still competing on the Champions Tour - and won the PNC Championship with son Jason in December last year - but has decided to call time on his playing career at Augusta National.
