Nothing is Quite Like the Masters

And yet time and time again this brings out the best in our top players. And for Sergio this year it was a dream come true and one could not help thinking that it was meant to unfold this way - in true romantic and symbolic fashion. Winning on the day that would have been Seve’s 60th birthday. There is a lovely photo of Sergio holding the trophy and pointing his finger to heaven. He was certainly inspired if not helped by that great man, for I certainly thought that eagle putt on 15th got an uncanny bit of extra momentum from somewhere up high. I think the physics underlying that golf shot would have left a Mr Isaac Newton bamboozled.

All credit to a magnanimous Justin Rose though. Wonderful stuff and excellent sportsmanship. He did immense credit to himself and the game. But the energy that so much pours through the veins of Sergio Garcia is the golf tournament in Atlanta Georgia, in Spring.
