Trevor Immelman (-8)

Some bemoan the lack of drama on Sunday at the Masters but I dug it. Early on I had my eye on Snedeker but he started piling up bogeys and was out of it by the turn. Paul Casey disappeared quickly, Mickelson never got into it, Steve Flesh did not have a good day and Stewart Cink stepped up enough to collect 3rd place money. I kept waiting for Tiger to come around and he had his moments--beautiful stick on 16 but he didn't finish the birdie--but he just never looked comfortable out there. He looked like that last year against Zach Johnson too--has Augusta become his Waterloo?

So basically it was a waiting game to see if Immelman would yack it up and he did give up 2 strokes late and 75 on Sunday was the highest by a winner in 40 years. Nobody took it from him and he didn't give it away. He had the steady nerve and did what needed to be done. What's boring about that? That's good solid Sunday Masters golf.
