It's an experience that's truly one of a kind.

And we have another memorable Masters in the bank with a most worthy champion.

Well, my biggest concern with Rory going in was the fact that he had a back injury in March that limited his play, and I didn't think he was going to be 100%.

That was not an issue at all, like it was for another player there, Colin Murakawa, who somehow gutted out a top-10 finish.

But that was my only concern with Rory, and it's interesting hearing those remarks from Andy North and what Fred had to say as well.

This is a guy that can win without his best stuff.

I mean, he had that six-shot lead at the midway point, and some people thought he'd run away with it, but Rory likes to just do the unexpected.

I mean, I'm sure he would have rather run away with it, but he made it interesting.

There were certainly some parts of his game that were not at its best, but...

I think it was just another one of the great events we've ever had there.

And to back up what he had last year, after all the years of having some really tough losses, losses at the wire, trying to get the career grand slam, and now look out, he's playing with total freedom.

And it's great for the game.

To see the tournament end with Rory 1 and Scotty 2, the top two players in the world, the game is healthy.

Augusta National.

Well, you know, you have to, if you're on the ground there, the no cell phone policy is strictly enforced.

And everybody tells me, including I was talking to Peyton Manning at an event one of the nights, you can walk around and not everyone's come up to you and say, hey, can I get a quick picture?

I mean, they don't have the opportunity to do that.

So the relationships and the meetings with people are earnest and they're real.

And it's not one of those moments where you're just besieged by people trying to take your picture.

I'm sure you've experienced that for the first time in a long time.
