The Masters in Review<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

When I used to live in the UK the Masters was always the start of my golfing year as we emerged form months of cold weather and course closures and what a spectacle the event is and this year was no different.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It was nice to see the course get topside of the players for a change and it just goes to show that it is not al about added length but faster,firmer greens and a little wind will do the trick every time.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This year was full of drama from the first to last day with Ernies Els imploding on the green on hole 1 on the first day taking nine shots with numerous missed putts inside 12 inches,Tom Watson playing his last ever Masters to Jordan Speith taking seven shots on the famous 12<\/span><\/span>th<\/span><\/span><\/sup> hole.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Will these players ever be the same again?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Waiting in the wings were two Englishmen in the form of Danny Willetts and Lee Westwood and just for a moment I had an inkling that fate may just push things the way of Westwood but Willetts was exceptional in the way he completed his round under severe pressure and a worthy winner.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This raises the debate in many clubhouses about the importance of a major on a players CV because are Willetts,Lawrie,Curtis and Immelman better players than Westwood or Montgomerie because they have taken the one opportunity to win a major given to them?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Willetts and Westwood along with Paul Casey should now have secured places in this years Ryder Cup and don’t be surprised to see Willetts and Westwood paired together sometime during that week.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For true golfers this is just the start of exciting things to come on the golfing front between now and September and we all hope it will all be as exciting as the Masters.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
