@The Coach is KILLING Me!: And the green jackets never leave the grounds of Augusta National. The only exception, I believe, is that the reigning champion can wear it off the grounds for the year he holds the title - ya know, for interviews and stuff.

Yes, Will, you do not understand golf -- there is a trophy for the Masters. The thing I found interesting about the green jackets is that members always wear them on the grounds -- even if it is really hot (like the year I went). If you saw the the vice-chairman of Augusta tell you how proud they are to offer 54 minutes of golf every hour, you have seen what every member of Augusta National looks like.

Tiger will eventually pass Nicklaus' major record, so maybe it's good that he got another runner-up finish, since crusty old golf fans love to cite Nicklaus' high number of second-place finishes as a reason why he was still more dominant in his day than Woods is now.

I think CBS went off the air without covering Tiger eating his sandwich, which I find surprising...

"Late Charge"?

I guess making an "oh by the way" birdie on the 18th that even Tiger waved at constitutes a late charge. It was only that close because Immelman gave away a couple on the 16th. Tiger was never a threat to win it.

@Weed Against Speed: @OchentaYcinco: Anyway, like I was sayin', corn is the fruit of the Midwest. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, corn-kabobs, corn creole, corn gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple corn, lemon corn, coconut corn, pepper corn, corn soup, corn stew, corn salad, corn and potatoes, corn burger, corn sandwich. That- that's about it.

Immelman got the win, but the true breakout star of the tournament was Brandt Snedeker's flowing blond locks. He might not have gotten the green jacket, but Male Model of the Year was his to lose.

@Civil Negligence: Correct. This year's dinner, given that Iowan Zach Johnson was putting it on, consisted of the following items:

Corn-kabobs, corn creole, corn gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple corn, lemon corn, coconut corn, pepper corn, corn soup, corn stew, corn salad, corn and potatoes, corn burger, corn sandwich. That- that's about it.

The most entertaining part of the entire final round was when Immelman was signing his score card.

They went from showing his attractive sister, to his smoking wife, to his funny little kid who started to cry immediately upon making eye contact with Snedeker, to his smoking wife rushing the kid off-camera to avoid further embarrassment.

Somone get L'il Immel Mickelson's kids' post-round etiquette coach!
