No-cell zone: Masters clings to ban on mobile phones

Adjust Comment Print

In the event victory at the Masters never materialised for the four-time major victor, who was here for the 23rd time by virtue of the five-year exemption he earned as the 2012 Open Champion.

Kisner made birdies on 8 and 15, earning some scorecard circles on the par 5s he said he'd need to in order to have a good day.

"The negative was just my play was atrocious", he said.

"Just being here is a special feeling". But no one had made a bid on the Augusta jacket in the first hour of extra time, so it appears the $116,124 bid is the victor.

"I had to shoot 5 or 6 under, and I had chances, I just didn't do it", he said.

"It's a place where you dream to get to once or twice". But if I look back at the 23 years here, how many professional golfers get the opportunity to play the Masters 23 times?

"That first year, I had a couple of great groupings".

"I don't feel too emotional right now but that's probably because of the way I played".

"And then, obviously, there were the times I came close". I think 2004 was a really special Sunday for myself [closing with a 67 and only being denied a play-off when Mickelson holed an 18-foot birdie putt on the last].

"We knew that the story behind this one - I mean, it's got its own name, everyone calls it the thrift store green jacket - would add a premium, but we didn't know how much", he said. "I just didn't have it this week". Spieth, the world's No. 6 player, shot 75, the same score he opened the championship with on Thursday, finished at 1 under.

He has made the cut in his two Masters appearances, but he's not satisfied with that.

The case, creative though it may have been, was always a tough sell, and it's not surprising that the court chose not to hear it. Trinity Lutheran Church of Columbia, Mo., said its exclusion is discrimination violating its religious freedoms under the U.S.

He was 20 over par for the tournament.

In the end, the jacket got a new owner anyway. He is certainly one of the most consistent.

Joining Els on his sentimental journey was club member Jeff Knox, who acts as a Masters "marker" when the draw for the final two rounds throws up an odd number. Golf memorabilia experts at Green Jacket Auctions believe that the jacket dates from the 1950s.

"He's so young still". "He's played quite a few and he's had a couple of chances already".

Security guard Vicki Cromley said the ban makes her job easier. He has the ideal game for here.

"I'm sure he can win it".

Only one Canadian has won a Masters green jacket and he's still wearing it. Mike Weir became the first Canadian to claim the honour in 2003.

"My fiancee asked me, 'How are you going to tell time when you're out there?'" said Kevin Caskey of Chesterfield, South Carolina, shortly after arriving Saturday for his first Masters. "Why would you not let your spectators see what's going on, as long as they're not a distraction to the players?"

Yesterday, as the expectant crowds gathered and the roars started to reverberate on another lovely Masters Sunday, his race was run.

Fowler had gone into the final round a shot behind Garcia and Rose.
