Some final thoughts

So there you have it, Trevor Immelman, Masters champion.
Just as I predicted.
A couple of thoughts:
I’ve covered six Masters and this one had the least Sunday drama. And yet even then, there were a few defining moments. One was Immelman holing his 20-footer from the fringe on 11 to save par Another was Tiger Woods making his bomb on the same hole, but then coming back and coughing up a golden chance on No. 13. That was essentially the tournament right there.
Is there a reason Woods still hasn’t come from behind to win a major? Obviously the guy’s entire major championship game plan is built around minimizing mistakes, and capitalizing when he can. Having to come from behind forces him to be more aggressive, and from there, he seems to end up making more mistakes.
Meanwhile, could CBS announcers have been any more desperate in their attempts to breathe life into the final round? It was as if Immelman didn’t have a five-shot lead, but was tied the whole time. I understand their predicament. You have to give people a reason to watch. But those same people aren’t stupid, either.
