Well what can I say?
The Masters had everything anyone could have wished for. At the end of the day golf was the winner.
Tiger and Phil gave an exibition of complete golf so that the last pairing was lamost a side show. Do these guys kow how to apply pressure or what?
Personally I thought Kenny Perry was going to coast home when he had a 2 shot lead with only two holes to play. Who would have thought he would blow it the way he did?
Chad Campbell probably couldn't believe his luck when he suddenly found him self in the play off. And then to top it all after Cabrera and Perry had played their seconds on the first play off hole Campbell simply had to put his ball on the green - he was also the closest so it should have been a formality. But it was not to be - instead he dropped it in the bunker. Cabrera was dead after putting his drive in the trees and then collecting another tree on the way out.
As the Golfing Gods would have it Campbell took three to get up and down and was out of the play off.
It was now up to the two from the last 2 ball pairing and off they went to the 10th tee. I really felt for Kenny because I am sure his nerves were raw. Not having dropped a shot in 22 holes and suddenly having dropped 2 in a row he must have been as nervous as all hell.
The result was he pulled his second giving himself an almost impossible chip and leaving Cabrera the luxury of a 2 putt from about 4 meters.
Game over and the Argentine walks away with his second Major.
The disappointment of the tournament for me was young Danny Lee, playing in his last tournament as an amateur not making the cut. He is about to turn pro and is reportedly due to sign a contract for US$10,000,000.00 so I don't really feel too sorry for him! His time will come and I look forward to his first tournament and following his career.
It was great to see Katayama come in fourth on his own. What a talented golfer he is and hopefully we will see some of his wins from the Japanese tour carried over to the PGA.
I can't wait for the rest of the Majors.

Let's Talk Golf!
Golf is probably the most mysterious game of all and is pretty unique in many aspects.
First and foremost it is a game that involves a static ball. In most other games the ball is moving at a high speed and the participants either have to hit, catch, kick, dodge, steer or guide it somewhere.
There are no two golf courses that are the same, and all golf course are altered daily by moving the teeing ground and or moving the pin location.
No two shots ARE EVER the same.
Participants have an array of up to 14 clubs to choose from for each shot.
It is a game where the partcipant is the referee. The game relies on the honesty of each golfer to ensure the rules are adhered to. How unique is that?
Golf is played year round - weather permitting.
There are only 34 rules in golf. These 34 rules and the various definitions cover any situation that may arise in the course of a round of golf.
