    That was an incredible Masters and I couldn't be happier for Reed and the way he hung in there. He has worked hard.

    I didn't realize until moments after he won that I have a ball signed by him. I work as a standard bearer at the Travelers Championship, and walked with Reed, Bubba, and Kuchar in 2016, on Reed's 26 birthday, as it so happened.

    I topped it last year by walking with Daniel Berger in the 2nd to last group on Sunday, witnessing his comeback to tie Spieth, then getting a front row seat inside the ropes for Spieth's now famous hole out from the bunker.

    Great stuff - something to be said for the game of golf in CT.

    Definitely. I got a glimpse of what it was like to be a player walking up 18 either in the lead or tied for it. I put into words what that walk up 18 felt like, 20,000 people giving a standing O to my guy. I had walked with him the day before as well, and told him after that final round that he had a fan in me for life.

    Total asshole only now paying up because he got called on his bullshit. Caddies normally get 10%.

    Priorities:
    1. Yankees lose
    2. Red Sox win

    Most PGA players have their own caddies who they use for every tournament. These caddies have experience with the golfer, their swing, their game, etc., so they can offer insight during the match. They offer more to the golfer than just carrying the bag. From what I understand, the caddie that Kuchar used was a replacement provided by either the PGA or the course because his normal caddie couldn't make it. So I assume he was more of a "just carry the bag" kind of caddie. So is that worth the same 10% that a normal caddie is worth? Probably not. But if I just won over a million bucks, I think I would've been a bit more generous than that.

    absolutely right! Kuchar made it right as he should have. Anyone calling one of the most respected players on tour not to mention the fact that he is committed to his family, an asshole does not really get it.

    Lame, but what do expect from grown men trying to hit a little ball into a hole in the ground?

    Ha, as opposed to baseball where grown men throw, hit and catch a larger ball and run around.

    All sports are nonsensical when you deconstruct them.
    Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1

    The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.

    The only sport that makes sense on every level is dodgeball.
