Congrats to Phil
I'm truly happy that Phil M. got the monkey off his back at Augusta this week. He is a class act and truly one of an elite bunch gnawing at Tiger's grip on golf. Very exciting indeed

Kudos to Leftie. Bout time he started to play smart golf and not just go for it all the time. And glad to see the kitty is human. Five bucks for me every time he doesn't win a major

Glad he finally won a major. There isn't a more deserving golfer than he.
And I too thought that putt was going to lip out.

The last day of the Master's is the only golf I watch all year and today sure was worth it.
Congrats to Phil.

That was the most exciting nine holes of golf I've ever seen. Two aces, eagles, and pressure packed birdies from Lefty. Awesome stuff. Great win for a class act.
What's up with Sergio acting like an ass, crying about the media coverage. Shut up and let your sticks do the talking.

Finally! Phil has the game. There should be more majors in his future. Maybe now the media will not follow Tiger so much.

Phil finally wins a major. Good for him.
Maybe this is a precursor to others getting the 800 lb gorilla off their backs. Red Sox-Cubs in the WS?

Agree, very nice win for a good guy. Could not imagine what it must have been like lining up that last putt for all the money. What a great way to win.
(As opossed to Tiger's choking 4 putts!)
