Great piece! On a par with JoePos'.

Yes, can confirm tearing up, and I'm not a golf nut; I just watch the Masters. I also loved how, at the end of Rory's walk to the clubhouse, he stood there, still dazed and astonished, not knowing what to do next, then someone came by and said, "We should get your green jacket," and he perked up and said, "Oh, yea, right!"

Points to Rose for being a class act, especially his saying afterwards, "I didn't want to be the bad guy."

Rory’s confusion and dazed expression was everything

I see you completely glossed over the absolute David Copperfield act on that second shot over the 500 foot tall pine left of the 7th fairway. Listen … I forgive you because looking back at that final round it now seems to barely crack the top 10 most important moments. Which is pure insanity.

Yeah way too many crazy shots to document them all. That one on 7 was BONKERS

I might have died on the road as I put Youtube TV on, on my phone, driving the Bay Area at 4.30pm Sunday listening but also kinda watching the playoff hole.

It would have been worth it
