More Masters Memories

A Masters for all the Ages... that's what I love the most about golf, it truly is a game for all ages to enjoy. From the silver haired Fred Couples to the 16 year old phenom from Italy, Matteo Manessero; this year's Masters proved that despite the generation gaps, there were eagles and birdies to had by all.

And now to hear all about his Master Memories from our newest Junior Correspondent, Jake Stoutland (15 years old):

In my eyes, the 2010 Masters was a huge success. The prestige of this tournament adds to how special it is and always will be. I look so forward to watching it on tv with my Dad. I watch everything from course layout to the player's club selection. What got the Masters so much more attention is that Tiger made his return. It was nice to see him back! There were a few headlines for me this week. I think it was really cool that Fred Couples had quite a good week. He proved that he sure can still compete on the PGA Tour. Also, one of the most memorable and crucial shots of the weekend was hit by the Champion Phil Mickelson. On 13, he drove his ball right into the trees. He had a slight opening in the trees but not big enough to feel comfortable about the shot. He hit a 6 iron and couldn't have hit a better shot. He stuck it on the green to about 10 feet. Personally, I believe Phil Mickelson's daring shot won him the tournament. He gained so much momentum and confidence, even though it didn't look like he needed much more. Phil Mickelson took a lot of chances Sunday that could have resulted in dropped shots but they resulted in birdies and that is how he won. The fact is that Phil Mickelson deserved to win the Masters and he did. Bill Haas had a great first Masters and finished up T26th. Steve Stricker and Jason Dufner both made the cut and tied for 30th. This Masters will always be remembered and dwelled on for years.

Thanks so much Jake for sharing your Masters Memories with us! Can't wait to hear from you soon.
