Sunday at the Masters is always a special day for golf fans. We get an early start today due to afternoon weather, there is a great leaderboard, and Tiger in the final group.
While walking around Cabela’s with Dad last night this hot sauce caught my eye. Could it be a sign? How about some original Tiger sauce for 18 holes?
Golf fans everywhere are smiling today because the Masters has started and Tiger is back.
Ever wonder what color they use for the green jacket at Augusta? It’s Pantone 342, picked to match the color of the fairways.
ESPN did a nice feature on the significance of the jacket. Check out the short video.
Sunday at the Masters. I walked my first 9 holes of the year this morning with Alex, hitting some good shots. When I got home I brewed an iced tea and lemonade, also known as an Arnold Palmer. Now I’m going to relax all day. First up is watching the special “Jim Nantz Remembers Augusta: Arnold Palmer – His Last […]
I love this picture, which I found on Masters.com. The patron (they’re not called fans or spectators at the Masters) wearing the hat must attend the tournament every year and is very proud of it, as they should be. With 4 day badges going for around $8,000 each, I don’t want to think about how […]
There isn’t anything I enjoy watching more than Sunday at the Masters.
Green Jacket. Every golfer wants one, but few ever get one. Today Tiger Woods won his 4th by winning the 2005 Masters at Augusta National.
Tiger started Sunday at the Masters down by 4 strokes with 27 holes left to play. Woods birdied the first 4 holes of the morning to make it 7 in a row going back to Saturday and found himself with a 2 stroke lead over Chris DiMarco. The #1 golfer in the world turned a 4 shot deficit into a 2 stroke advantage in just 4 holes. Yes, with the win, he also took over the #1 ranking as the world’s top golfer. Maybe winning his 9th major championship will silence the critics and prove that his swing changes have been worth it.
I watched all five hours of television coverage today and it was the greatest golf tournament I’ve ever watched. DiMarco and Woods went back and forth for 18 holes and both ended up at -12. When Tiger chipped in for birdie on 16 I jumped out of my chair and went nuts. It looked as if he was going to bogey the hole with DiMarco in good position for birdie and a possible chance at taking the lead, but instead Tiger pushed his lead to two. Woods nearly gave the tournament away by shooting bogey on the final two holes, but came through with a birdie on the first playoff hole for a win.
It was a great competition to watch and seeing Phil Mickelson slip that green jacket onto Tiger’s shoulders during the traditional ceremony in the Butler Cabin was sweet. Phil was wearing his traditional fake smile and I can only imagine what was running through Tiger’s mind at the moment. After all, it’s no secret the two aren’t the best of friends.
