-The Masters: What a great afternoon of golf! Tiger's early charge to the top of the leaderboard and then all those great shots on the final nine holes. Unfortunately, Tiger stalled on his back nine, playing even par after going -5 on the first nine and ending up in a tie for 4th (he really needs to have a talk with his putter, the stick that failed him way too many times during the four days and, yes, costing him his 5th green jacket). The youngster and day's leader at the start of play by four strokes, Rory McIlroy, did find his 80, imploding on his back nine. (Ouch, ouch, ouch.) But several other players had a party on the final holes, rolling in and chipping in shot after shot that had the hills of Augusta ringing in cheers and applause and roars. None were more impressive than the four closing birdies by Charl Schwartzel, the eventual winner by two.
