We had to practice it before we went into Butler Cabin because he'd never done it before.
I said at the end of my speech last year, I'll hopefully see everyone next year where I'm putting the green jacket back on myself.
I wasn't quite correct there, but the next best thing is having the chairman put it on.
That was the goal this week was, you know, I drove down Magnolia Lane with the green jacket and I want to drive back up Magnolia Lane leaving with the green jacket again because I've gotten used to seeing it in my wardrobe.
I've gotten used to wearing it at places and it's just so cool that I get to do it for another year.
Yeah, he came to find me, which I thought was amazing.
We had a lovely time at the Champions Dinner on Tuesday, and then we tried to recreate a photo from 20 years ago where I was part of the Faldo series, and he was presenting prizes.
I was a 16-year-old, and so we recreated that photo, but he left me a lovely note, so he won back-to-back in 89 and 90,
And I won back to back in the 89th and 90th Masters.
So a little bit of a tie in there.
But yeah, it was lovely that Nick came to find me.
And we have a long history and a long relationship.
I've known Nick since I was 12 or 13 years old.
So to emulate one of his amazing achievements is very, very special.
I think last year was the culmination of trying to win the Grand Slam and win the Masters for the first time, win my first major in 10 years.
