The Masters

[kingfc22]

So how long until Mickelson blows up and drops down the leaderboard?

[KWhit]

Not until Sunday.

[Senator]

Go lefty! This is the year!

[Vince]

Let's go Mik!

[SteelerFan448]

He's been playing well this year. I hope he can finally get his Major.

[k0ruptr]

he will choke.

[Dr. Sak]

Anyone choke up watching Arnie walk up 18 that one last time? My heart went out to him. He did so much for the sport of golf. Growing up 15 mins from him also made that a little special to me.

[corbes]

I think it's Phil's time.

Also, not afraid to say I welled up with tears watching Arnold on Friday.

[Young Drachma]

Is Leftie going to choke today or what? I think Ernie wants it more.

It'd be good to see Mickelson win it so we can stop hearing about his major meltdowns. Chris DiMarco is having a Greg Nelson final round.

[kingfc22]

Surprise. Surprise. Phil is having trouble. This should be very entertaining.

[Chubby]

Go Phil!!!!! One back....

[Bosco]

Ernie isn't going to lose today.

[kingfc22]

What a last 45 min. of golf!!!

[Chubby]

PHIL PHIL PHIL! 3 straight birds!

[mauchow]

Par there. Too bad on the missed birdie. It would have made things REEEAL interesting.

I would like to see Els two-putt here, but that ain't gonna happen.

[Chubby]

Phil just set himself up for a bird on 16, make this putt!

[Chubby]

TIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mauchow]

DRAINS IT! ATTA BABY!

[mauchow]

Phil looks like he's going to go hysterical. He's got a 'look' right now, and it's hysterical looking.

[Chubby]

Ernie pars 18, Phil needs one bird on the final 2 holes to win...

[mauchow]

Big, tough putt here.......

Here it is...


OOOOOH!!!!!!

[Chubby]

a par from there is fine, he can take his shot on 18 for the win.

[Bosco]

Phil is a mortal lock to choke here.

[Dr. Sak]

What great golf today!

[kingfc22]

Choke time? or will he actually win something?

[mauchow]

Good drive, real short though.. But that's okay.

[miami_fan]

What will the golf world do if they no longeer have Phil to pick on?

[mauchow]

Start pickin on Woods for suckin.

[Vince]

Man, that long putt on 17 was huge...he almost holed it, too.

[Dr. Sak]

What will the golf world do if they no longeer have Phil to pick on?

Tiger hasn't won a Major since the US Open 2002 (Bethpage). I bet they start on him.

[kingfc22]

Start pickin on Woods for suckin.

He should blame it on his girlfriend.

[Chubby]

Phil played safe on his drive which is what he needed to do, 2nd shot...

[mauchow]

Yeah, don't do what you did yesterday, buddy.

[mauchow]

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!

[Chubby]

sticks the approach shot!!!!! sink this putt!

[mauchow]

Els eatin an apple.. What a fruit :p

[kingfc22]

wait for it... wait for it....

[mauchow]

Imagine he 2-putts it........ THAT would ruin his career.

[Chubby]

nice, Phil gets a read on his putt too before he needs to go.

[mauchow]

Amazing.. DeMarco just helped Mickelson.

[kingfc22]

now he just got a gift, he better make this putt

[Chubby]

And he............................................................

[mauchow]

GET IN THE HOLE!

[Chubby]

MAKES IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mauchow]

LISTEN TO THE CROWD!

[Chubby]

PHIL WINS!!!!!!!!

[Dr. Sak]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Vince]

w00t!!!!

:)

Congrats, Lefty.

[miami_fan]

Hell hath frozen over! Phil won a major!

[kingfc22]

Hell hath frozen over! Phil won a major!

tis true

[mauchow]

tis true

does this count for the Cubs too?

[Young Drachma]

Good for him.

[INDalltheway]

I am no golf fan, but that was awesome to watch!

[Chubby]

I am no golf fan, but that was awesome to watch!

I agree, I normally can't stand watching golf on tv and only turned it on the last 6 or so holes just to see how Phil was doing. Since he was close I kept it on, I can't imagine anyone rooting against him those final couple of holes besides Els.

[miami_fan]

I am no golf fan, but that was awesome to watch!

Same here. I am guessing that Phil is too much of a pro to say dedicate this win to all those who said he did not have the fortitude to win a major! :D

[Young Drachma]

Poor guy wants his damn jacket and they're sitting there talking to him. It's hilarious. He's like "who cares! Give me my prize!!"

[Chubby]

"When are we getting to the good stuff?" Heh, about time they gave him the jacket sheesh!

[cartman]

So, since Lefty has relinquished the title of "Best Player not to win a Major", who gets the title now? Sergio?

[Dr. Sak]

I first thought Colin Montgomery but I think his time is about gone.

<!--StartFragment -->Padraig Harrington or<!--StartFragment --> Stuart Appleby

[cartman]

If Monty wants a major, it'll have to be the British Open. No way the crowd would let him win a major in the US. You thought Shooter McGavin had it tough in Happy Gilmore, that'd be nothing like what Monty would see if he was in the similar situation as Mickleson was at 18 today. :D

[cartman]

Dola,
On a seperate note, what ever happened to Justin Leonard? I used to get him and Mickleson confused when they both started out.

[Buccaneer]

I am very, very happy that Phil won. My wife and I had been rooting for him for years and esp. this whole tournament. This will be one of my favorite sports moment.

[Easy Mac]

I hope this shows Jessica Simpson that you can be good at golf with large breasts.

[Coffee Warlord]

Whoo Lefty!

I now have ample ammunition when people make comments about left handed golfers sucking.

Now don't mind me as my left handed self drives the ball out into the forest. :)

[SteelerFan448]

Mickelson and Els put on quite a show down the stretch. Fantastic finish. Congrats Phil.

[digamma]

<!--StartFragment -->Padraig Harrington or<!--StartFragment --> Stuart Appleby
I had this discussion with a friend this morning before the final round. These were the two names we came up with as well.

[Craptacular]

Michelle Wie ;)

On the men's side, I think Padraig or Appleby are good choices.

This made me think of the Seinfeld episode where I believe it was George became MUCH more productive once he gave up sex. Perhaps there is some truth to that. ;)

[tucker342]

What a finish!

I still say Mickelson sucks though;)

[Samdari]

You obviously did not watch the tourney. Phil has lost enough weight so that his breasts are almost completely gone. He now barely needs a training bra.
