Hes got about 195 yards left, and hes got a, looks like hes got about an 8-iron. This crowd has gone deadly silent... Cinderella story, out of nowhere, former greenskeeper, now about to become the Masters champion. [swings, pulverizes yet another flower] It looks like a mirac- its in the hole! Its in the hole!"
