How Masterful was the 2010 Masters?

After receiving more hype than a spoiled kid’s 10th birthday party, it actually lived up to the buildup. I’ve been watching this tournament every year since Tigers roaring start to his career in 1997, and I cannot ever remember being so entertained.

The leader board was jaw-dropping all weekend, especially on Thursday when Tom Watson was in sole possession of the lead. Although father time eventually caught up with the 60-year-old, age is proving that it isn’t once what it was in golf.

Take fan favorite and now Senior PGA Tour member Freddy Couples. The 50-year-old was in contention for the duration of the tournament.

Freddy always has two battles going on. First is shooting a good score and second is his back, which is about as stiff as Tiger’s wood. If Couples wouldn’t have closed out his second round bogeying four out of five holes (he shot a 75) who knows what would have happened around Amen Corner time on Sunday.

Of course the main reason everyone and their mother’s were watching the 2010 Masters was to see Mr. Tiger Woods. Tiger’s tie for fourth finish was shocking to many, but not to me.

I don’t believe that this man hasn’t been swinging golf clubs throughout his whole fiasco. Tiger’s father Earl raised him to become a golfing machine, literally. Tiger would go into an even deeper depression not having golf in his life.

Regardless of my previous paragraph, Tiger Woods has returned . Maybe it’s not quite yet to his old form, but he is very, very relevant again. His first round 68 was his lowest Thursday score at Augusta, EVER. He shot very respectable 70’s both on Friday and Saturday, and entered Sunday four shots back from then leader Lee Westwood.
