Bubba, Rory, Woods, and Hogan.

Bubba winning the Masters made me very happy and his popularity continues to explode.  I see where he has WD from The Players next week.  I have to respect his decision and did not like the PGA announcers questioning his decision.  His play in New Orleans showed that he wasn't ready to start his next run. 
Long Live Bubba.

Rory, he is amazing to watch from the first round to the last.  It is a constant improvement.   If he could putt better he would be close to AC historically, but that isn't going to happen.

Woods, also known as AC, is blaming his Haney swing for his failures now.   Amazing, he actually missed his 8th cut ever this weekend.  Maybe that is skewed by his WD for supposed injuries in the past, but his consistent greatness was amazing.

In the recent SI article about Hogan and his great run, I found a piece of information that shocked me.  Even though the article was slanted toward his greatness, it still showed how smart Hogan really was.  The fact that he researched and designed clubs and balls to give him an advantage is amazing.  What a brilliant man, an arrogant ass, but brilliant.

Hogan's 9 majors is still amazing, even if he won 8 of them and had 31 of his 64 wins after Byron Nelson retired in 46.
