The Sheriff may not have won the masters today but he did make history

He went -11 under on 68 strokes.
2nd Place behind the defending champion Rory McIlroy

Scottie did all this driving the ball horribly too up until the final 7 holes. If he even would have driven the ball average, he would be wearing the green jacket right now.

Maybe … but what if Rory had driven it well too? 
 

Rory was -12 after two rounds and 90th in driving accuracy 

Great finish from Scottie. Just needed a better Friday.

I have a little question with Rory skipping a bunch of tournaments and flying down to play Augusta alot in the weeks leading up to the tournament.  He played good……I’m not taking that away from him but it may something we see out of more players moving forward.  He said he would drop his daughter off at school,  fly to Augusta and play 18 and fly back and be home by dinner.  He said in his press conference after that he’d played it so much that he knew exactly where to hit it and where not to miss at. I’ll be interested to see if other players start doing it for the Masters and other majors. 

Massive advantage for those that went off early Thursday and late Friday.  Management of the course certainly had an impact and is unfortunate to see.
