This is The Masters

[oscarose]

Pretty good for a man who's never received any coaching!

Excellent final round to watch - an albatross and even a shank from Hanson to cheer up us amateur golfers'

[Doggy Styles]

Remember Langer up the tree?

Gosh yes, I do!

On a technical point, shouldn't climbing a tree to play a shot constitute improving one's lie and result in a two shot penalty? Kneeling on a towel to reach down into a bunker on a wet day certainly does, as Craig "The Walrus" Stadler found out to his cost several years ago! I'm not sure about climbing a tree though.

And watching Westwood made me feel a little better about my putting game

No I think its fair enough to have your feet juxtaposed to the ball even if said ball is up a tree.

"Just a crazy shot I saw in my head" is Bubba's explanation for how he pulled it off on Sunday afternoon to win the Masters.

He also said :

"We had 135 [yards to the] front … is the only number I was looking at. I think we had, like, 164 [yards] hole, give or take, in that area, maybe a little less. And I hit 52-degree, my gap wedge, hooked it about 40 yards, hit about 15 feet off the ground until it got under the tree and then started rising. Pretty easy."

Pretty easy !!!!????

Just one of those putt genius moments in sport.

Takes your breath away it really does.

sandy lyles fairway bunker shot in the masters was a great shot.

[Doggy Styles]

sandy lyles fairway bunker shot in the masters was a great shot.

On the 18th in 1988. I remember it well.

However, the ball was sitting up perfectly for the seven-iron shot, as he himself has said, so the degree of difficulty wasn't that high.

Where's the Open this year DS?

It's not so much the difficulty, rather the ability to execute it under the utmost pressure that is what makes it such a great shot...and then having the nads to knock the putt in is even more impressive

True, but that could be said of most shots to the green, late in the back nine, by contenders over the years.
