I must say, that was one of the most thrilling finishes i've seen in some time. Mike is the first Canadian to win a major tournament, and the first left-handed golfer to win at Augusta National.

Best thing is, it couldn't have gone to a nicer guy. I had the opportunity to sit with him at the Canadian Open a couple of years ago, and he is a class act all the way.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot! 😀😀😀😀😀

Phil's time will come. He's too good of a player to never win a major. 🙂

I agree. Phil has placed third the past 3 years. Next year, Augusta is his.🙂

Mattias had an excellent last round, but Weir earned the jacket. He had an excellent tournament. Congrats to him.

Yeah It was an excellent finish, and I too think Phil can do it this year at least one of the major events.🙂

 

[Cable God]

yep 🙂 Glad to see him win one. Won a little over $100 from the pool at work. I had a feeling after the practice rounds. Maybe one day Phil can win one. I root for him most of the time. He's a cool guy. Saw him at a Titelist demo one day about a year ago. One of the nicest guys you'll meet.

 

Yay! From one Lefty to another, I congratulate Mike Weir...we hit the ball from the RIGHT side. 😀

Good finish, but Maggert and Mattiace totally f*cked it up...I mean, come on, given a second chance to live in sudden death, he putts like THAT? Someone with more experience wouldn't have done that...

as for Maggert, I feel so bad for him...and nobody cares about Tiger again. 🙂

True dat. That was horrible. How can you double bogey the most important hole of your life....unless you are French <cough> van Develd<cough>

Mike Weir has always seemed to be a great guy, and has always been a very very good player. Now, he's a great player.

I'm delighted he won. 🙂

actually, the number of top 5 finishes is JUST as important as number of wins in my opinion. Mickelson seems to finish top 5 in almost every tournament he plays. that consistency is a remarkable testament to just how good mickelson really is.

if he wins one or 2 majors he'll cap what's already been a pretty good career.

does he remind anyone of greg norman back in the day?

Yay canada! :beer:😀

 

[Cal166]

As long as tiger woods isnt in the picture, seen enough of him winning.

 

[JEDI]

how well did Tiger do?

 

[redheadednurse]

And Weir is a lefty!

 

[glen]

I was there on #10 when it happened.
Anyone else?
Did you all see Tiger's girl friend?
She had a stripped shirt and 2 body guards. Tiger's mom was with her also, and some other girls.

he was doomed by the third hole. played terribly, at least for him...I think +3 for the day.

 

[glen]

Tiger Triple boggied 3, and followed that with a Boggie on 4.
- Sank a sweet putt on 16, but it was too little too late.

I am not much into Golf. But seeing that the Masters was brodcast in HDTV made me acctually watch the final round + playoff. HDTV ROCKS! 😉

 

[UNCjigga]

Tiger lost?

Blame Canada!

 

[Fausto]

So, was most of Canada burned to the ground by rioters celebrating Weir's victory.....or do you guys not do that kind of thing? 😛
