Michael Vaughan at the PGA Masters Golf?

[MASS1961]

What?

Have I just seen Michael Vaughan? Ex England cricket captain shipped over to Georgia to interview golfers for the BBC, as they complete the final round of the Masters.

Talk about jobs for the boys? How much of the licence fee did that cost us?

The 76th Masters will be remembered for two shots in particular.

Oosty's second at the 2nd, to get his alabatross (double eagle for you US boys) and Bubb'a miraculous recovery on the 10th play off hole, truly a masterful shot to win the most coveted blazer in sport.

Well done guys, a great shoot-out.

G'night guys, thanks especially to MASS1961 for letting us de-rail the thread, but with the best intentions.

Wow, that was some match, a good thread MASS and well done to Phil & DT for excellent comments.

Philtaz. it has truly been fun for me. 100+ posts on a pretty trivial original subject. I'm not really a golf fan but I always watch the open, the ryder cup and the masters. No need for apologies really enjoyed it. Best regards. Goodnight

The tears continue in the clubhouse interview as Bubba chokes when asked how he felt pauses and says 'I never got this far in my dreams'.

Bottom lip wobbling a bit here too with that statement!

Thanks guys enjoyed all your comments and the golf too..lots of ifs and what ifs....If only the lefty hadn’t played that trip to the bamboo so badly....couldn’t he have declared unplayable? If Westwood hadn’t finished the third round and started the last with bogies he could have won it.....sort of glad in some ways that the albatross didn’t win it for the South African....it was too lucky a shot to earn a green jacket....Lots of good stuff and Westwood must have thought they were going to give it him at one time when watching from the clubhouse......all great stuff.

true commoner - golf is very much "what ifs" as well I know.

Mickelson could have gone back with a penalty shot, any line between the bush and the tee, even to the tee.

It cmes under USGA rule 28..... http://golf.about.com...esofgolf/a/rule28.htm
