Subject: One streak will end
One of three streaks will end on Sunday at The Masters:

1. No Aussie has ever won The Masters. If Stuart Appleby does it, he'll be
the first.

2. Tiger has never won a major when he entered the final round without at
least a share of the lead.

3. No one has won The Masters without playing in the final group on Sunday
since Nick Faldo did it in 1990.

One of those three streaks will end tomorrow.

I'm thinking #2 is bound to end sometime. But it didn't happen today.

Frankly, I'm not surprised Zach Johnson won the darn thing. Hell, he's
already won on a course that looks a lot like and plays SOMEWHAT like
Augusta National when he won the BellSouth Classic on the TPC at Sugarloaf.
You guys never get to see the front nine on that course. But it resembles
Augusta National A LOT!!!

Has anyone ever won a Masters while sporting a Johnnie Miller
style haircut? Appleby could be the first!

No, that would be Jack Nicklaus. Goldielocks.

Also, no dark-complected four-time Masters champion of age 31 from
California has ever played with a blond Australian named Stuart in the
final pairing in the final round of the Masters that happens to fall on
April 8. That mighty streak is about to end.

Has TW ever been this close to the leaders in a major after 54? Other than
those times when he's actually been *in* the lead himself, of course.

Hazeltine in '02 I know he was near the leaders, and I think he was
reasonably close at the British Open in '03. Others? Perhaps Pinehurst?

He tends to be in the lead in majors if he's playing well, or back in the
pack if he isn't. And a few times he has made a run from way back in the
last round to get top five finishes, like Baltusrol a couple years ago.

So it's probably a pretty safe bet that he will come nowhere close to Jack's
record for second-place finishes in majors.
