Hlog at the Masters: Sunday

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- It's 1:40 p.m. at Augusta National Golf Club, 15 minutes before Cedar Rapids' Zach Johnson starts his final round and 35 minutes before Tiger Woods tees off.

Everyone is forecasting a Tiger slam-dunk today for his fifth green jacket. An Augusta columnist wrote that such a scenario is necessary to give something memorable to what he called a forgettable year here to this point.

To heck with that. You want something to remember, how about Tiger collapsing or choking on Sunday when in contention? That would be novel. That would be fun.

I could live with Stuart Appleby becoming the first Australian to win this tourney. I could live Padraig Harrington taking the green jacket home to Irelan. I could live with Augusta native Vaughn Taylor winning, or someone called Bradley Dredge. I could live with Phil Mickelson rallying to catch and pass Tiger for the title.

And if Johnson wins this thing to give his hometown newspaper's guy here a little something extra to write about? Well, I think I'd accept the additional work tonight.

well, how prophetic is that??!! i know it's work for you, but that must have been a thrill to be there to witness johnson's victory in a major -- well, not just a major, the masters!!

and seeing woods spit and swear and wonder out loud what was happening to him didn't bother me a bit.
