The 2013 Masters was a notable year at
Augusta. There were three notable stories
the first Aussie winning, Tiger Wood's penalty, and a 14 year old from China
playing.
Adam Scott was the first Australian to ever
win the Masters on Sunday. Scott learned
the tough lesson of controlling himself in pressured situations from his
experience at the British Open last summer.
Scott lead the tournament by four strokes with four holes left and
bogeyed his way in to lose by one. This
time Scott made 2 amazing putts on his last hole and in the playoff to get the
job done.
Tiger came into the tournament with high
expectations had a tough day Saturday.
Woods took an illegal drop on the 15th hole and it wasn't discovered until
after his round. He received a two shot
penalty. If the illegal drop was seen as
he hit it he would've been disqualified.
Woods finished the tournament in fourth place at five under par.
The fourteen year old named Tianlang Guan
was the youngest to ever play in a major.
Guan barely made the cut after receiving a penalty for slow play. He continued to shoot twelve over par and was
the low amateur of the tournament.
I think it is great Scott can come back
after a tough loss last year and win a major.
He showed more grit and fight than I have seen him play with
before. I think a big part of his win
was his caddy who was formerly Tiger's caddy.
On the other hand, I feel bad for Tiger because I think he wasn't aware
of his illegal drop. It was a tough
break, but he will be back. Lastly, I
think Guan has become ever young golfers idol for his accomplishments in the
Masters.
