Winner: Golf fans treated to tremendous final round as Augusta shines
After a testy start for many of the world’s top golfers in very windy conditions, the golf gods granted a reprieve on Sunday.
Barely a ripple of breeze could be seen atop the ponds at Augusta. The sun was shining, and when the leaders lined up for key putts, the only thing one could hear were the birds chirping in the background.
As a result of the perfect conditions, low scores were the order of the day for those who managed to find themselves among the leaders. As we’ve mentioned discussing the two who battled it out for the win, Rose and Garcia basically ended up going match play to finish out the tournament. We also highlighted the fine play of Matt Kuchar.
But they were not the only men who found the course to be in prime scoring condition Sunday.
Of the 21 top golfers at the conclusion of the Masters, 14 of them were below par during Sunday’s final round. It was just a mesmerizing display of top-level golf, much to the delight of everyone who had the privilege of watching.
