It's been an incredible watch this evening. I hope Rory wins to get the monkey off his back but Rose winning would also be fantastic. |  |

And Jaeger shot a 78 in the 4th round.
Spooky!

He kept looking to bottle and then followed it up with incredible iron shots. Unbelievable stuff.
Well done Rory. |  |

A historic and dramatic Sunday at the Masters. Rory becomes the 6th ever for a Grand Slam, finally.
Feel a bit for Rose though, the Bridesmaid again at Augusta! Twice in a playoff now, was over 100-1 Thursday. He’s all class l, hope he wins it one day, or at least another major. |  | | |

bit tired this morning.... had no intention of staying up, but that drama was so compelling.... so wanted Rory to do it, but also would have been delighted for Rose.... but to come back again and again, as Rory did during that round.. absolutely immense.... wouldn't surprise me if a run of more majors comes now that he's done that. |  |

Pleased for Mcilroy and relieved as every major for the last couple of years has been the Rory Mcilroy show on Sky at least which hopefully might ease off now. He was playing super human golf at times this weekend but ultimately a 44 year old human matched him over 72 holes. Justin's time won't come again now i'm afraid, at least not at Augusta but at least he was gracious enough to do interviews afterwards.. |  | | |

Well done Rory McIlroy! Thoroughly deserved, and such a dramatic evening of golf which was compelling viewing from start to finish. Glad he’s finally got this over the line and will probably push on from here to win a few more majors. Surely has to be favourite for SPOTY? | | | |

They talk about a "run of majors" whenever a good player wins won, but statistically that's very unlikely to happen. At least Rory won't face the "when are you going to win the Masters" question again, but his golf is a mix of brilliance & stupidity. He was cruising & puts a simply pitch shot in the creek on 13 when he shouldn't have been anywhere near it with that shot. At his best, the best player in the world but still flawed under pressure, missing very makeable putts on 13,14,15,16 & 18. |  |

yeah, he is definitely flawed under pressure, but I think that the pressure he was putting himself under to get that grand slam contributes to those errors, and actually the fact that he got through it, and now doesn't have the same level of pressures could liberate him.
And when I say run, I mean 2 or 3 over the next few years.... as you say, unlikely to be more than that due to the nature of the game. | |

I think it unlikely Rose will come that close again, but you never know. He has the most beautiful golf swing and I’m a little surprised he’s not won more majors. But to win one (US Open 2013) is a fantastic achievement. Comes across as a nice person too.
McIlroy? Tired of the Sky hype around him, but he won and to win all four is a very rare achievement. Well done to him. It was a great tournament/drama, as the Masters often is. Surely the most prized of the four Majors and the one above the others I’d want to win if I was a top professional golfer - closely followed by the Open, of course.
Oh well, I can dream as I hack my local course to bits later in the week. |  | | |

Agree. Tbf if Rory made some putts and cut out the shooting himself in the foot, he would have won that by 25 shots.
I played golf to a decent standard (2 hcp) when I was younger and to see someone go from cruising, to basic errors to world class shots from one hole to next, is just incredible to see such mental resilience. | |

Could the same about Justin. He made a complete mess of things on Saturday yet comes back firing ten birdies on Sunday. Sensational stuff on a sensational day! Truly memorable Masters. |  | | |

Rose is incredible tee to green but is like a 15 handicapper putting. Has ever been thus. | |

Rose holed almost everything he looked at on Day 1 - that's why he shot 65. He is also ranked 16 on the US Tour in terms of putting. He's a very good putter - he just had an awful putting day on Saturday, but if he hadn't fallen back, he might not have shot such a good score on Sunday.
Mrs Radlett had Rose in the Golf Club Sweep so she was rather miffed when Rory won the play-off as this cost her a new driver. | |

I'm talking about the last 25 years. Seems to always collapse with the putter on Saturday or Sunday in the majors. [Post edited 14 Apr 17:01]

His putting was incredible. Same on his first round. It does go cold but as an average he's a good putter.
That was one of the best sporting days we'll ever witness. Absolutely incredible round of golf. Rory hit two of the best shots I've ever seen in my life and a couple of terrible ones. What he did under the most extreme pressure imaginable is still extraordinary though. Well done Rory. | |

They guy who I think is let down by his putting is Tommy Fleetwood. Whenever he's in contention on a Sunday he rarely seems to hole a thing. Statistics do support my theory in that he is generally a poor 4th round performer. He's a good distance putter, but rarely seems to hole anything on a Sunday. | |

That 7 iron into 15 was ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous.
Before the shot I saw what he saw and thought he was throwing it away trying to even think of it. To then execute perfectly was heroic. Like prime Tiger. Shame he missed the putt! Again, his putter can go cold too.
Amazing theatre. Even the Bryson collapse sub plot was interesting. Great day. | |

Ludvig simmering away in the background for most of the day too. Felt like I counted 6 or 7 birdie putts that got away from him that would've put him right in contention on another day! Fantastic drama right from the off. |  | | |

Aberg is going to win plenty of tournaments, including majors, if he holds his form. | |
