Nothing against Rory, but I was hoping he would screw the pooch on a couple of shots like last year to make things more interesting. Congratulations to him. Back-to back Masters are rare and an incredible accomplishment.

I thought the back and forth all day made for incredible theater and even at the end I was on the edge of my seat after Rory hit his driver so far right (I still think he should've teed off with an iron to eliminate a big number that likely only comes with a driver - he got very lucky he had a shot on 18). Incredible accomplishment to win the Masters twice in a row, as Nantz mentioned a few times - in good company with Jack, Nick, and Tiger. McIlroy may make it to 10 majors now that he's back on track.

Augusta doesn’t want to see a ridiculous score. They tried to get the winning score around low teens. Given the weather, they can make it as difficult as they want. Every Putt is a tester coming from above the hole. If you are not focused, it can make you look silly.

This. One of the guys on Golf Channel said an 10-15 handicap decent golfer would have a tough time shooting par at Augusta if their starting point on each hole was 50 yards from the green and that's probably true. If they didn't keep watering the course after the first round, some of those greens would've simply been unfair.

Does Augusta have frisbee golf too?
