Great Stuff
It was great to see someone like Zach win the Masters. My son and I were there and we were at the edge of the ropes for the Green Jacket ceremony. It was very cool to see his wife, father, and other family and friends come into the area to be seated. They were clearly awe-struck and overcome with joy. Very cool stuff.

If any of you have the Sunday recorded, take a look at Tiger's shot out of the pine straw on the 5th hole. The camera shot is right behind Tiger. To the right, just out of the frame right in front of Tiger is my son Taylor. To the left, right next to Steve Williams is me. Right after the shot you catch a glimpse of my red arm.

We were lucky enough to be standing there when Tiger pushed his shot right to our feet. It was pretty cool being that close and listening to the exchange as they sized up the shot. Stevie got there first, made sure the area was clear. He politely asked everyone to stay still after the shot. Then Tiger came in. The exchange went like this:

Stevie: "You've got 11 and 23." (211 front of green/223 hole)
Tiger: "How about a little cinco de mayo buddy?"
Stevie: "I was thinking 6."
Tiger: "I'm thinking a little cut 5."
Stevie: "Sounds good mate."
Tiger: "Doo-da-doo-da-doo" (humming to himself while looking for the club)

Then he busted a beautiful towering 5 iron, with a slight fade, dead at the pin. The interesting thing was I could barely hear them talking even though I was 3 feet away and everyone was dead quiet.

Definitely a Masters moment to be remembered!
