Jim Nantz is absolutely right. The Masters is a tradition unlike any other. This year' tradition included a 48 year old Kentuckian crapping his pants on the final two holes of regulation to give away a green jacket. I kid because I care, Kenny. The shot on the 16th was just as much clutch as the final two holes were choke-y. No one is talking about how the best player ever (Eldrick) bogeyed those same two holes, or if it wasn't for a lucky bounce off a tree for Cabrera on the first playoff hole, Perry would be "gettin' his green on".Sunday was easily the most exciting round of golf on television I've witnessed ever. A pairing all golf fans have been wanting (Eldrick & Phillip), at the perfect course (Augusta), going back and forth with one another in some sort of a lawn dart competition. And to top it off, WE had a Kentuckian staring them down and matching shot-for-shot on the back nine. It was setting up for a Jim Nantz "magical, story book ending", but ended with golf fans everywhere dealing with a mild case of IBS.
With Steve Flesch having a monster Sunday, Kentuckians were the second most dominant story on Sunday at Augusta besides Tiger & Phil. Two state guys in the top 6 was fun to watch. Now if we can get J.B. involved, the state will move one step closer to world domination. We need to win one, though, to take step number two. Flesch (2008 Masters), Holmes (2008 U.S. Open), and Perry (2009 Masters) have all let a major slip away in the past year.
Hope everyone enjoyed their Easter!
