Masters Moments

Maybe one of the best Masters watching I've ever seen.  From Thursday through Sunday, everyday delivered a different story line.  It was great to see Fred Couples and Tom Watson play so well in a Major Championship at their age.  Those guys can still play with the best in the world.  Fantastic to see Tom Watson get an exemption today into this summers' U.S. Open at Pebble Beach.  His game is ideal for the golf course.  You must play solid from tee to green and that's Tom Watson.  BTW, he won there in '82.

Phil Mickelson silenced alot of critics with his convincing win.  To shoot a bogey free score of 67 while playing in the last group is huge.  The shot he pulled off on 13 could be the best of the year under the circumstances.

Kudos to Augusta National for setting up the golf course for excitement.  The golf course is simply the best venue for championship golf in the world.  And Sunday afternoon didn't disappoint.

My biggest takeaway from the week is just how many shots were holed out from off the green.  On the most difficult greens the PGA TOUR plays all year, it's just amazing how incredible their short games are and for that matter irons as well.
