Press Release Body = This is the most difficult column I\'ve ever had to write on The Masters. It\'s a little easier today than Saturday, when it was nearly impossible to get it close to a good adjective.
In any case, a few random thoughts before we let the 2007 Masters slide into history - or infamy, as the case may be.
• Will Zach Johnson be one of those \"freak\" major winners like Ben Curtis and Todd Hamilton?
I have a feeling he will be. Johnson is a good, solid player, but he doesn\'t hit it long enough to run with the big dogs. It wouldn\'t surprise me if he never wins another major.
• The inside-the-studio green jacket ceremony on CBS was totally bogus. It couldn\'t have been more forced, more stale, the green jacket all bunched up around Johnson\'s shoulders. He looked like a bewildered 12-year-old kid. The whole thing had an air of awkward, TV-unreality. Ditch it.
• Is the Masters a holy holiday? Is there a reason it\'s held so close to Easter?
Hey, I love the Masters. It\'s my favorite tournament, but those televised \"Masters Moments\" were so emotionally cloying they made me want to consult Genesis, Revelations and the Book of Ruth.
Even CBS analyst Nick Faldo got caught up in it. Where was the caustic commentary we\'ve come to love and expect from the Brit? He was rather bland all week. I never heard one criticism from him, and Lord knows there was plenty to dish out.
I would like to have heard Johnny Miller\'s take
