It’s not fair to Phil Mickelson to say it, but… he’s kind of lost his charm since he won the Masters in 2004. I’ve never found anything particularly likable about him… at least back then, he was a lovable loser. Now, he’s just a polite guy with a smile he can manufacture at any second. I dunno. I wasn’t rooting against him or anything, but almost anyone else winning would’ve made for a more interesting day.

He was impressive, though. No bogeys until 18… on a Sunday at The Masters, when the greens are dry and the course is longer than it’s ever been, that’s pretty fucking amazing. It’s too bad that such an outstanding performance didn’t have a serious challenger to put a little more shine on it.

Between the NCAA tournament and the Masters, though, I gotta tell ya… I am fucking tired of Jim Nantz. If I end up in hell, Jim Nantz will be following me around through the flames jabbering in my ear about a tradition unlike any other. I hate him.
