Have been reading the entire thread whilst watch the golf. Awesome. It gives watching the event another dimension. My only comment in this thread is going to be Tiger hasn't won his " 5th Green Jacket", but the same jacket 5 times. Thanks.

You mean any reason to discount a Win :) Luck, bad play, etc etc the list goes on and will be debated for months to come.

What a Sunday. As someone else mentioned a few posts back, the putt on 9 was unreal. I just so happened to be standing pretty much dead in line with the ball as it tracked toward the hole. It was as if time stood still for what felt like an eternity hoping that putt would fall. Said to a few friends after I left that was probably the best shot I’ve ever seen in person.

 

Caught the final few groups tee of on two, standing right on the ropes about even with the tee markers. I need to look up how far DJs drive went. I know it ended up just off the left side, but my god he crushed that thing, might still be in orbit. Breathtaking. I didn’t notice it as I was focused on Tiger teeing off, and when his ball took a hard left turn into the trees I was hoping I’d here an f bomb or two lol but apparently some moron yelled get in the hole and security was quick to find out who it was. I can only imagine what he’s thinking today if he ended up getting the boot.

 

Surreal being there on 18 to witness the end. Getting to the course at about 4:45AM... no brainer.

 

It’s very striking when watching Tiger, especially yesterday, how quiet it gets when he’s getting ready to play his shot. Anyone else you’ll notice some muffled chatter between people. Not with Tiger. Seemed like the massive crowds around 9 were all simultaneously holding their breath watching him compute what he was going to do.

 

Don’t think I’ll ever witness a bigger sporting event in my lifetime.

Man that's awesome you got to see it in person. Did the putt at #9 feel like it was going to stop way short in person? On TV it seemed to me like it could stop about 20 feet short...and then it kept on trickling. Maybe the best lag putt of all-time given the pressure and the severity of Augusta's #9 green.

[Titleist 670]

What a win for Tiger. I did not think he would get another major.

 

I am not sure why people are saying he steamrolled the field in the final round. He played smart, shot 70 and won. It was great. But it's never enough - the narrative has to be everyone is afraid of Tiger and the 86 Masters sucked.

It did. It was amazing to watch him study the putt and end up executing it exactly as planned. Impossible to describe what it was like as it got closer and closer to the hole. I genuinely think it registers an earthquake if he holes that haha.

 

Everyone went nuts deservedly so. I’m sure people in other spots around the course assumed Tiger birdied based on the roar. Sorry about that!

 

And yeah can’t deny feeling extremely fortunate to have been there to see it unfold. In the past I had always been somewhat indifferent on Tiger (I mean look at my profile pic here lol), didn’t root against him or worship him like a god, but never denied he makes the game more exciting when he’s contending. So I was pulling hard for him to win. I live in the Atlanta area so went to the Tour Championship last year on Sunday and obviously that was an insane experience. Doesn’t even come close to the excitement of being there yesterday.

 

Assuming I stay on the nice list moving forward with my wife’s family and get to go back on a Sunday, I can’t see anything topping seeing a Tiger win. So I’m parking my butt on 16 next time!

[BlackM00Nlight]

I don’t think I saw a single post here where people claim Tiger steam rolled the field. Everyone knows he played smart and used his knowledge of the course to help win.

[Frasier Crane]

In Tiger's presser he talked about that putt on 9.... said that his only goal was to get it on the next shelf. He said if it was 20ft. short he didn't care, because if it went past the hole, it's rolling off the green. Just another demonstration of how he used his experience to win.

[Joker91]

I'm just hoping this post will be at the top of page 200

[Jackhammer993]

The best thing Tiger did was first get into the final group which made things uncomfortable for his playing partners not as much because of Tiger but because of the passion of his supporters and second his decision on 12 to play over the bunker. Out of all the potential winners Brooks was the only one who once again stood tall. All these guys are super talented just can’t get it done under the pressure of the majors. Some even cave on regular tour events. Give me 3-5 more solid years from Tiger and hopefully by than a few of the really young guys can be ready to take over. This current group just doesn’t get it done.

So you witnessed Tigers wins at the Tour Championship AND The Masters?! I’m not normally superstitious, but we need to get you tickets to all of the majors this summer!

Yes sir. Actually said the same thing to the wife last night that I’m on fire right now for Tiger wins...

 

Still have a bunch of friends and family up in NJ so awhile ago I did strongly consider the trip for the PGA next month. However the wife would probably kill me with a baby coming in August and no paternity leave. If I take anymore days off for golf tournaments I may be divorced before my first born arrives :)

 

All that being said, if you want to start the fund for my trips to Bethpage and Pebble I’m game!

[BlackM00Nlight]

Can’t wait for Bethpage and Pebble. Especially Pebble.

[BlackM00Nlight]

But Rory playing in his backyard at The Open will be great too

Dude, you should go. The Bethpage fans are incredible. Cannot imagine how loud that place is gonna be for Tiger and Phil once again. It was epic in 2002, but I think will be even louder this year with both of those guys getting older.

[Jackhammer993]

Because of my love for the Irish it would be great if an Irishman wins at Portrush. With that being said if Tiger is trying for the Grand Slam it’s a no brainer.

[RSinSG]

Reading this thread reminds me why I like WRX. There is a little bit of everything here, including some good comments on the Masters.

Nope

[jmvargas]

...Now!!

[Catty]

Tiger has won the Masters in three different decades 90's, 00's 10's. If he wins it again he will be the only golfer to win over 4 decades. Cant see that being topped.

[jmvargas]

after all is said and done Koepka and Shauffele had the best chances to also win this thing down the stretch...Dustin made his moves a bit too late and the best he could have done was a tie at -13..the other 2 had chances to go -14...

And Cantlay, he was at -12 on 16 tee. But he was also -14 on his previous 33 holes which is ridiculous.

...Yes..I forgot about him...he was -12 with 3 holes to go...so yes..him too!

Imho Rory will not content at Portrush, just because everyone is expecting him to, and he loves to break our hearts...
