00:05masters and still put on that green jacket in Butler cabin that mental fortitude was tested

00:11on Sunday and it seemed as though some of those mental skeletons in the closet

00:16might win the day Rory did in the playoff hall on Sunday evening at Augusta Keith the first ever

00:22golfer to make four double bogeys or worse and win a green jacket the sixth ever golfer to win

01:55to become more than a generational golfer
