Masters Winner!


The winner of the 2011 Masters golf tournament is Charl Schwartzel!  He finished sunday with a low round 66 to put him to 14 under, two strokes ahead of second place.  He is from Johannesburg, South Africa.  He is 26 and just go this Tour card at the begining of 2011.  He married Rosalind Jacobs in the fall of 2008. 

The 2011 Masters was a very memorable event, even compared to past tournaments.  It is known for being the most important and most prestigous major of the year, it is the only one that is played at the same course every year, Augusta National.  It was also a unique event because for 63 holes Rory Mcilroy lead the pack.  He eventually fell apart, but he was the second youngest to do so, at 21 years old, only a hundred days behind Tiger Woods' famed 1997 Masters win.  There were also a number of different leaders throughout sunday afternoon, more than there usually are in the whole tournament.

All in all it was a tournament to remember, even though Phil Mickelson didn't do so well.  I was pleased with the outcome and am looking forward to next years Masters'.
Question for readers- Who did you want or like to see win the 2011 Masters?
Below is Schwartzel moments after making his birdie on 18 to finish two
strokes ahead of everyone.

    Was Shooter McGavin participating in the tournament this year? If so I wished he could have won.

    I believe he was attending. I think he finished tied for seventh, with a strong 67 on sunday. But they caught him cheating so he was disqualified.

    I thought Tiger woods played a solid game compared to his recent events.
