[GPK]

+1 is the score to match.....

Not a bad pitch, huh? quick question, Zak Johnson, breakthru performance for top young player, or next Ben Curtis/Rich Beem?

[GPK]

Tiger......2 shots back....3 holes to play....

Latter

NOT! He's from the heartland, he has already won, this is a big deal. He will be heard from again.

In all honesty...there is only 1 person that can determine if this is a fluke or not....and that is Zach himself.


If he continues to win after today.....he will justify his play. If he is never heard from again....he will join the rank and file of other "1 major" wonders....


and God knows that list is too long as it is.....

[GPK]

Congrats to Zach.....well played during the toughest Masters I can recall in a long time. Well played....69 on Sunday this year....you deserve to wear the green jacket.

You're not expecting a whole out from the 18th fairway?

nope.....this was as good as Tiger had this week....and it wasnt good enough. Zach played well enough this week to earn his 2nd career win.

[GPK]

Tiger fails to win from behind again.....he sucks....


throw all his previous 12 majors in the trash.....

throw all previous 50+ PGA Tour wins in the trash....



he is a LOSER because he fails to win when trailing on Sunday.....

T8 19 Rory Sabbatini +6 F +1 73 76 73 - 222 76
T8 19 Phil Mickelson +6 F +1 76 73 73 - 222 74
T8 38 Retief Goosen +6 F -2 76 76 70 - 222 71

Appleby - 75- right on the money
Rose - 73 - sucked up towards the end...beats me by 2
Tiger - 72 - off by 1 shot
Taylor - 75 - better than I though today...but never a factor
Johnson - 69 - showed heart and grit today...will need to prove this was no fluke....
Harrington - 73 - thought he would be more of a factor earlier...
Dredge - 83 - I overestimated him today
Clark - 74 - off by 1 shot
Kelly - 70 - surprise...but a non factor.
Furyk - 72 - huge dissapointment....thought he would be heard from early
Donald - 73 - another non factor.
Toms - 72 - another late non factor
Sabbatini - 69 - TONS better than I expected.....thought his lack of patience would be his undoing.
Mickelson - 77 - being wrong has never felt so good
Goosen - 69 - 1 shot off....played like I thought he would...

Well if you're going to win only one major then the Masters is definitely the one I would want to win. He didn't choke and he put up a solid number.

No doubt PP....you shoot 69 today...you are a deserving winner.

[Seattleallstar]

Tiger really dissapointed, at least he broke a club in half showing how strong he is

Watching The Masters in HD is a must. What an afternoon, props Zach.

He was on the Ryder Cup team last year was he not?

Two things that annoyed me: the graphic that listed the leader by time of day; and one announcer's assertion that Tiger wasn't feeling well after he landed in the trap on 17.

The graphic is unnecessary, as useless as any graphic posted. Then, why does the analyst -- who was corrected by Feherty, I think -- provide a "Tiger Excuse?"

Good for Zach Johnson.

that is done soley to present to the viewer how quickly the leaderboard can change at Augusta on Sunday.

Much of the Mastery Tiger holds over the Tour Pros is his mental toughness. Today, Zach played within himself and did what he needed to do to win. I think he carries this on with his carreer,hopefully. But, isn't that what all pros try to do?

so much easier said than done Timm.

The tour is full of 1 and 2 time "FLUKE" major winners.
