If you are a golfer, then you know what The Masters tournament is all about. It is not only a major, it is a revered as one of the best and most challenging golf events in the world. Putting on the green jacket on Sunday evening means you conquered not only the field of more than 100 other golfers, but the course. It is the most picturesque scenery—the greenest greens, the magnolia trees and all of the blooming flowers. They crowned a first-time winner in a playoff, as Sergio Garcia outlasted Justin Rose. It was only fitting to go down to the wire in such a great and classic event.
