The Masters: Congrats Zach Johnson
As everyone knows by now, Zach Johnson got his first major victory by holding off a late charge from Tiger Woods and Justin Rose to win the 2007 Masters. Congratulations to him!
My only comment from the tournament is how disappointed I was in the broadcast team as they made excuses for Tiger Woods. Coming down the stretch, the praised him and called his eagle on 13 a 'shot in the arm'. But two holes later, after his ball bounded into the water, one said Tiger must be sick because he's not playing well today.
Make no mistake, Woods is the best golfer on the planet, but he's never come from behind to win a major and I'm not sure why anyone expected that to change Sunday. There were plenty of skilled golfers at the top of the leaderboard as the tournament wound down, but only one of them was able to play mistake-free as needed.
After this close loss, Tiger will probably come back with a vengeance and win the US Open, but let's not make excuses for him if he doesn't. Golf is a tough game and sometimes you've got it, sometimes you don't. We're just used to seeing the world's top player on more often than not.
