Agree with you on nearly everything there Paul, the new age of US golfers are waaayyy more charactor filled than just a few years back.
I think Bubba's playoff shot was amazing BUT for my own part i beleive Oosthuizen's albatross shot was the shot of the tournament even though it was not quite as important as Bubba's. There's just something something so impressive about watching a perfectly weighted ball roll up to meet the hole from such a long distance out.
It could make for an interesting Ryder Cup.

: That certainly does shed some light on the new breed of American
: golfers. Not your run of the mill characters on or off the
: course but they have added some interest since Tigers arrival.
: I have watched every Masters for the past 35 years, a bit of a
: family tradition, sadly only on TV. That second shot of Babba's
: on the 2nd playoff hole will go down in history more so than
: Oosthuizen's albatross (double eagle) and maybe even more than
: his tears at the end. Another great event. Hopefully more so
: that the watch.
