What a memorable Masters!

Well, that was the best Masters weekend in recent memory; in my humble opinion anyway. 

You've got to feel for a kid like Rory, but he certainly has the game and confidence to rebound.  Still hard to watch though. 

Tiger looked poised to secure his 5th green jacket, that is until he couldn't keep the momentum going on the back nine. 

Cabrera moved through the course as cool as a cucumber and I often thought to myself, "This guy is flying under the radar and could just snatch the green jacket away from everybody."  He's obviously very comfortable playing at Augusta National.

Speaking of feeling comfortable playing at Augusta, how about another stellar Masters performance by K.J. Choi.  Year after year, he finds himself right in the thick of things on Masters Sunday.  Impressive to say the least.

Where was Phil all weekend?  I was sure he'd be in contention on Sunday.  I guess he shot his best scores the week prior in Houston.

The Aussie twosome of Jason Day and Adam Scott were both very much in contention and after Scott stuck it tight on #16, it looked like the tourney was his.

Leave it to Charl (minus the "es") Schwartzel, the 140-pounder from South Africa to birdie the final four holes to shoot a remarkable 66 on Sunday and win his first green jacket at the young age of 26.  His ball striking was darn near perfect and he was in "the zone" that you have to be to block out all the distracting crowd roars that The Masters tourney is famous for.  He may not have been the crowd favourite, but he proved to be a worthy champion.  WHAT A TOURNEY!!!
