RE: Huge Congratulations to Jon Rahm Your Masters Champion 2023
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I was glad that Rahm won the tournament, as I have never been a fan of Koepka and his holier-than-thou attitude dating back to when he was a regular on the PGA tour. I was glued to my TV all weekend long, as I am every year, due to the fact I take this week of every year, just so I can watch this tournament. This is my favorite tournament of the year, followed by the Tournament players championship played here in my home state of FL at TPC Sawgrass, followed by the US Open, then the Open Championship. I have come to dislike all of the "LIV" players due to their association with an oppressive regime like Saudi Arabia, and also because they went for the money and not the love of the game. This includes Phil Mickelson, one of my all-time favorite golfers. He has tarnished his legacy by being affiliated with these people and it makes me sad.
Getting back to golf, I used to be a Rahm hater, but over the last couple of years after seeing what kind of person he has become and how he has matured, I have come to like him... It is so poignant that he wins The Masters not only on the 66th birthday of Spanish great Seve Ballesteros but also winning it on the 30th anniversary of Seve's second win in 1993.
I found the entire four days must-see TV, and with the benefit of online access through Masters.com, I was able to watch a TON of golf this week. Congratulations to Jon... I look forward to the menu for the Champions Dinner next year.
That my friend is a top notch comment. Thanks for taking the time to engage so well with my post. That is what Hive is all about afterall.
Ya same here, it is one of my sporting events of the year and my wife and kids get plenty of prior warning that I will be glued to the TV for long periods over the four days! The Masters.com little videos are great allowing you to see every single shot if you wish.
Ya you summed it up well, although I have always liked Rahm, I have an affinity for all Spanish people and their golfers, I reckon there must be some Spanish blood in my somewhere, and I holiday in Spain almost every year too and feel right at home there. It's hard to explain but the place just has a draw for me.
Good point about Koepka too, he kind of comes across like a baby stuck in a grown man's body at times, with his sulking and skulking attitude... As for Phil, what a final round, but as you say he has ruined his legacy, even if a tiny part of me feels sorry for him, yes, I'm a sucker :)
