Even with Tiger Woods' bitching, the Masters was boring

I don’t know where you come down on the most recent Masters, but I personally was bored stiff. You know that saying, “The Masters doesn’t really start until the back nine on Sunday,?” I think they forgot that this year. In hindsight, I guess it was appropriate that CBS went ahead and coronated Zach Johnson when he left the 18th green. He did win, in the end. But the crying and baby-kissing is usually done after the tournament’s over, not when there are still two guys on the course who could possibly win. Conditions at Augusta National were so difficult that even Tiger Woods was bitching at his caddie. It seemed to me he was blaming Steve Williams for the number when he hit his approach into the bunker on No. 17. Of course, I don’t think Williams missed that putt on 16. Anyway, no one made a run, and rallies are what make the Masters great. Comments:
Sorry, the Masters was very exciting.
I will agree, however, that I thought it was strange when Johnson went into the celebratory mode prematurely. I said to the person I was watching it with, "Hey, he'd better get his game-face back on because he just might be in a playoff." He's just lucky that all his chickens actually did hatch.
Didn´t see that, as I was in Spain, and did my best to avoid T.V. Who lets these guys go into premature celeb mode? tiger does have a penchant for the dramatic, even when eagle on 18 is the only shot left. Excitement, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Some find a 0-0 soccer draw heart-pounding, while others equate it with a day at the RonMon museum...a yawner.
