“A Master Win”
Bill Bunkley’s “This Is Something to Think About”
Air Date Tuesday, April 15, 2025
One of golf's great traditions is the annual April PGA Tour Masters Tournament at the beautiful Augusta National Golf Course in Georgia. The scenery is unmatched, especially the blooming azalea bushes blanketing the countryside.
The 89th tournament, 2025 edition, may be the most memorable in the history of the Masters.
Ireland native Rory McIlroy achieved a coveted green jacket after 17 previous tries at Augusta. It's been eleven years since he won his last major tournament, but on Sunday, with the win, he joined golf’s most excellent players by earning a career Grand Slam.
His play was reminiscent of life’s ups and downs. Over three days, he double-bogeyed four times, two on Sunday, something no winner had overcome. He also failed to sink a winning par shot at 18, forcing a playoff.
To everyone’s delight, Rory pulled it off, tragedy averted.
