Yes, jitterbuggers–Tiger Woods demonstrated that he is not so superhuman after all by buckling under the pressure of the $100 wager for charity that Jitterbugger the blogger had riding on him to win the Masters Golf Championship.
Which means that Jitterbugger owes $100 to the charity of the choice of his fellow Navasota Rattler (Class of 68, Navasota High School; go Rattlers!), Mr. Walters the architect, which doesn’t seem right since the Jitterbugger’s classmate of old is a fabulously wealthy architect.
Jitterbugger is sure that Mr. Walters, who wagered on anybody but Tiger to win, will be contacting him soon with the charity or church of his choice for that $100 skins.
Jitterbugger the media critic thinks it’s way time for all the golf pundits to give the Master’s winner, Angel Cabrera of Argentina, his much deserved credit for hanging tough and winning the coveted green jacket fair and square in a Sudden Death Playoff.
All the buzz is about the side tournament that was going on Sunday between Tiger and Phil Mickelson and how they both caved while the three guys who ended up in Sudden Death were slugging it out.
It’s getting a little old hearing how Kenny Perry, who was everybody’s sentimental favorite because of his age (49), because he’s Mr. Nice Guy, because he’s never won a Major tournament, and because he lives in his little hometown and has been married to his 8th grade sweetheart for about a hundred years.
Yeah, great story.
Great story in the “battle” between Tiger and Phil also.
But hello!!!!!!!!!?????
Who won the Green Jacket this year?
Oh, yeah. Angel Cabrera.
Who won so quietly, with such inner strength, with such journeyman-like determination, and so boringly, if that’s a word, that you still wouldn’t know, on this Monday morning, that he is the WINNER of the 2009 Masters.
The fact remains that everybody else is an also-ran, including Tiger, including Perry and Phil and the other guy who was in the running.
Angel’s a great story too, if only because he looks like Tony Soprano if Tony Soprano were born again and had the grace of God in him.
Angel too is Mr. Nice guy, and generous in helping children in his homeland.
Good show, Angel.
Tiger folds his tent, loses his mojo, cost jitterbugger $$$
