That was big for him to come back after he had a terrible start.

His issue has been failing at the end it mattered most. He seems to have got that out his system and he’s fulfilling his ability.

Somehow got himself into the right position Thursday & Friday - the back 9 on Friday really the key to his win this year I'd say

He didnt play anywhere near his best, I dont think, however 6 Majors now; Career Slam & Back to Back Masters where it was his demon;

Even if he doesn't win another tournament what a career; though I feel he might have two or three more in him

Would be nice for him to add this year

Feel for Rose, he really chucked that away. 2 shot lead going into the back 9 and never looked comfortable from there on in. 3 putts, duffed chips etc. At his age he really isn't going to get too many opportunities.

Well played JBB and thanks again Mumbles for taking the time to run this.

The Masters is one of the great sporting weekends of the year and it was a vintage final day, roll on next year.

^^^^ Sort of but not really.
In 1930 the amateur Bobby Jones won what were considered the majors back then; US Amateur, British Amateur, US Open The Open.
Nobody has won all four modern majors* in one season, Tigger and Ben Hogan have won three. Tigger has been the holder of all four at the same time but spread over two seasons.

*Masters, US Open, The Open and the PGA.
