What’s the old saying? The Masters doesn’t begin until the back nine on Sunday. We’re just about there and the leader board is even more enticing and bunched than when the day started.
Are we destined to have a second straight major won by a Korean? Last August at Hazeltine, when Y.E. Yang stared down Tiger Woods in the final group and won the PGA, he became the first Asian to win a major championship. Seven months later, K.J. Choi, playing alongside Woods for the fourth straight day, is playing the steadiest golf among the leaders and might be the last guy standing.
By the way, as Choi makes the turn, its 5:40 a.m. in Seoul. Wonder if they have “Breakfast at Augusta” with Dong Enberg on the Korean Broadcasting Network? I love the smell of bulgogi in the morning. Smells like victory.
Could this be the “Pine Nut Masters?” It will be if Phil Mickelson loses by a stroke and will forever look back on the random chunk of Georgia pine that floated down and landed in the path of Mickelson’s ball as he was putting for birdie at No. 2.
