Fantastic finish from both players and great respect between them both.

Really pleased for Sergio as I would have hated to see him go his whole career without a major.

One thing I did notice yesterday more than other days is how long he is off the tee time and time again longer than Justin.

Agree with this, at times he was 40/50 yards longer than Rose, that's some difference. I thought at the turn he'd blown it and his emotions would get the better of him but he seemed relaxed and just let it flow. Kudos to both, a great watch.

As someone who doesn't usually watch golf, I picked a good one to start getting into! Fantastic golf from Garcia and Rose. The only sour note was Fowler completely disappearing along with the quid I put on him! Haha. It was a great final day though, with guys like Kuchar and Schwartzel emerging from no one and threatening to challenge, but Garcia and Rose just kept themselves ahead of the pack with some solid, consistent play. It certainly hasn't put me off watching more golf tournaments in the future. :D
 
US Masters is nearly always great viewing, as a golfing spectacle it is easily the best tv golf watch imo. The fact we know all the holes and shots from watching year after year adds to it somehow. Yesterday was right up there with the best because both leaders played so well under huge pressure and it was close all the way. Some of those missed putts on 16,17,18 by both were a surprise though:whistle:.
Suffering a little this AM but worth it, great drama and v happy for Sergio.
 
i switched on when the wife went to bed, they were just teeing off on 15.

well done Sergio, great win. maybe give him the shot in the arm to win another major now.
 
Reminded me of when back in the day I won our 5 Day members knock-out trophy on the first extra hole.

I hit a tee... :whistle:

No not really. Last night's spectacle was the best bit of golfing excitement since the Miracle at Medinah. Played by two friends in impeccable good spirit and respect. Destined to go down as an all time classic.

Well done Sergio and hard luck Rosie.
 
One of the best 'final days' for quite a while. Some great golf played by quite a few of the players on the leader board. Shows that a course set up to be hard but fair can produce an exciting spectacle. Well done Sergio on the long overdue win.
 
A great spectacle, played in great spirit. Gutted for Rose, but delighted for Garcia.
Some nerves between them at different points!
There was a thing about a guy who has been texting / tweeting Garcia asking him to caddy for him. He did over a while and he finally said yes - and he is doing it in the pro am at the British Open.... now he's caddying for the Masters champion !!!
 
Well, Sergio truly is the Master after that ball striking performance yesterday. Other than the tee shot on 13 he was imperious. This slightly bemusing sport of ours certainly is a game within a game. If they gave Majors out purely on ball striking, Westy, Sergio & Rose would have 34 each by now. Sadly at this level it comes down to the guy who can get the ball in the hole with the flat stick & that usually discounts those three along with a few others.

So pleased for Sergio, especially with Padraig in the studio 10 years after beating him twice at the last in Majors. Rose as usual was the complete gentleman in defeat & is shining light for our great sport. His home club is a shrine to him already, goodness only knows what they'll do down there after this (Mayor, Governor, General...)

Vamos Sergio!

I didn't think we'd see another final day like last year's Open for a while but that last night was awesome. Both of them played superb golf, it's just a shame one of them had to lose.

Wondering people's thoughts on Sergio moving his ball in the pine straw after the drop.

I thought it moved.

The pine needle in front of the ball moved up which made it look like the ball moved. It is possible the ball moved a fraction of a mm but not enough to call a penalty. The officials acted quickly and made the right call. It is no longer a story

Of course it's a story and we can discuss all we like. Looked like it moved a fraction in the replay I saw but thankfully the officials dealt with it in the correct manner and made the right call. I dread to think of the headlines had he been pulled for it.
 
The masters was always my third favourite major, behind the Open (1st) and the US Open (2nd)7. I think its just gone up a spot now. Yes, its a glorified invitational, but what a glorified invitational !!!!
