OT: 2017 Masters

Sergio is a total joke

His inability to make putts always catches up and then he presses and blows up

Rose wins this by 3-4 or more

I had to like this. Just shows your great judgement. Not.

What?? Read the whole thread. I was pulling for him. I just expected him to fail.

Some guys just like to stir the pot for no reason.

I'm not a Sergio fan and feel like he backed into a major. He surely hit a couple major approach irons but, wow....his putts were not even close when he had a chance to make this official sooner than he did.

I would hardly say he "backed into a major", it's not like he was a group or two back and the leaders collapsed. He had a few hiccups early on the back nine, but that par save on 11 and eagle on 15 were as good and clutch as anything I have seen in this tournament. The putt on 16 was bad, but the putt on 18 was exactly where he wanted to hit it and that putt usually does break left, it just didn't. Simply put, he played better overall than Rose down the stretch, and nobody else out there was even close. Willett may have "backed into" the win last year, but Sergio earnedo it here.

You can't be serious. Two shots down on the back nine on Sunday, he saves par on 14 after hitting into an unplayable lie off the tee (really the only bad drive he hit the entire day) when it looked for certain he'd go down by four. Then he eagles the 15th on a BRILLIANT putt, ties it on 17, gets off the deck after a devastating miss on 18, somehow keeping his poise and refusing to succumb to the usual self-doubt and negativity, then birdies the playoff hole. My goodness, I guess you really aren't a Sergio fan.

Everybody misses putts at Augusta. Everybody. This was one of the most clutch performances I've ever seen on the golf course. His approach shots, during the entire tournament but especially on the back nine Sunday, were unbelievable.
