Hey, a win is a win, right. Rickie had to focus while toddlers were frolicking in bunkers, rolling down hills and 12 putting some holes. He got some epic crystal to validate his accomplishment

Epic Tweets
It’s pretty crazy that, one week before the Masters, we essentially know that Scottie Scheffler is going to ball strike it well enough to win. It’s just a matter of what happens on the greens. – Dan Rapaport @Daniel_Rapaport
I believe the only person who can stop Scottie Scheffler at this point is Meredith Scheffler. – Kyle Porter @KylePorterCBS
Both men in the final pairing are major champions and 27 years old. The last time both members of a final pairing on Masters Sunday were both major winners in their 20s? 1965 – Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player – Justin Ray @JustinRayGolf
Rory McIlroy cards an under-par opening round at the Masters for the first time since 2018, despite spending most of the day looking like he’d rather be anywhere else. Suppose watching Scottie Scheffler barely get out of second gear to shoot 66 will do that to you. – Alex Perry @byAlexPerry
Bryson pulling signs out of the ground, ZJ cursing out patrons, Hatton ripping Reed for slow play, Jason Day’s sweater, and Tiger being Tiger. This is one of the wildest (and best!) days in recent major championship history. – Alex Myers @AlexMeyers3
Tiger Woods has ‘eliminated sex’ in preperation for the 2024 Masters – GolfWRX @GolfWRX
I find it amazing that you can get every item on the menu at Augusta National for only $66. The Masters continues to be one of the few sporting events in the world with affordable food prices for fans. – Tour Pro @OfficialTourPro
Brandel Chamblee says LIV golfers are missing the PGA TOUR: “I promise you those players on LIV miss the attention, miss the buzz, miss the competition.” – Nuclr Golf @NUCLRGOLF
It’s sad, but Jon Rahm’s answers used to be more thoughtful and reasonable before the brain rot. I used to love hearing him speak. Now it’s just the same thing 60 other guys are being told to say. – Amanda Rose @AmandaGolf59
Memorable Masters Week Quotes
Max Homa Before Sunday’s Round
“I’m going to remind myself I’m a dog and I’m ready for this moment”
Wyndham Clark Following Thursday’s Round
“In LIV Golf they only play 54, so I like my chances. We’ve got a lot of golf left — someone shot 7 under… I could do that tomorrow.”
Tyrell Hatton on Pace of Play
“Yeah, the lads in front have been so slow. It’s pretty poor from the officials that it took 32 holes to put them on the clock. Yesterday they’d lost a hole and a half, and then they weren’t any better even this morning, and then for the second round they were just brutal. Fine for them; they’re not waiting on any shot that they hit. But for us, we stood in the fairway, we stood on the tee. It was really hard to get a rhythm, so it was disappointing that it took 32 holes for an official to go, oh, we’ve put the group in front on the clock.”
Sir Nick Faldo on Jon Rahm’s Masters prep After Moving to LIV
“He’s been playing resort courses for the last couple of months in shorts…. “He hasn’t really been tested. He’s gonna have to step it up to get the right intensity.”
Tiger Woods on His Chances Tuesday Before The Masters
“If everything comes together, I think I can get one more.”
Kyle Porter of CBS on Jordan Spieth Media Conference
“I could listen to Spieth talk about the contours and nuances of ANGC all day. He was jamming this afternoon on green speeds from 2014 and why staying below the hole at this course is extra important for spin and speed. Amazing stuff.”
Gary Player at the Masters
“This great country, the United States of America! If you’re here, you’re so blessed… Appreciate what this country has done for the world. It’s about time America started doing more for their own.”
Sir Nick Faldo on Phil Mickelson at the Champions Dinner
“Phil was very quiet on Tuesday; he didn’t say a word. He was dead quiet, standing next to me. I wonder why.”
