Tiger Wood's wins the Masters today Another green jacket comes his way Finally, his image stands large at the doorway For it's been a knock and a hiatus of his cache As the years after 2008 suffered from his play No major championships one can say Only gossip headlines, mugshots, and injuries in gray Where once a phenom in his twenties on display Such greatness and legend his star headway His mid-thirties saw some of his luster fallΒ Β in dismay With mostly self-injury to his ego in disarray It was hard watching a once proud man's fall and decay Especially one that held his world at bay With his swagger, swoosh, and shine turning to clay And like a good drama of accents and descents convey With the wait and weight on his shoulders belay He turned the storybook pages of dismay today The pressure of his swing, swing, and putt on display And how he uncorked his demons is a pure bouquet After 43 years of his years, he took the fairway Running, running, today after his prey It was great seeing his game not get away

Along with other patrons at a McDonald's I watched the Master's this morning. I had a Big Breakfast but was in for a bigger surprise. Coffee never tasted so good. So, too, were the tears. It is days like today that you live for, and give thanks to, namely rooting for a hero and a comeback. Thank you, Tiger. To give you a perspective of how big today was-take note that of Wood's 80 tour wins 71 came prior to 2010. In 2016, 2017 he was out with an injury. In 2013 he did well. Yet there was so much missing from his song, one his life being together (especially his relationship problems with women and caddies), that I was happy to see him sing today.
