CHAMP!

Confidence is bold. Confidence is certitude. Confidence ignores criticism and frustrates opponents. Confidence is a silent screaming declaration. Your opinions are irrelevant. I will win. On Sunday, confidence was epitomized when Zach Johnson flipped his shades.

Johnson has conquered the Masters. Despite arduous Augusta, Johnson carded a final round three under par, sixty-nine. His total one over par bested Rory Sabatini, Retief Goosen, and Tiger Woods’ (+3). Jerry Kelly and Justin Rose (+5) finished knotted in fifth.

After opening with a bogey, Johnson scored two birdies. Unfortunately, he bogeyed hole five. Following consecutive pars, Johnson tallied another birdie. He then laced four succeeding pars. Standing three over, Johnson birdied holes thirteen and fourteen. One hole subsequent, he birdied sixteen. Despite bogeying the seventeenth, Johnson completed his round with par.

Chaos reigned. Stuart Appleby commenced Sunday leading. Following Appleby’s double bogey, Woods assumed command. Johnson then tied Woods. Johnson then bogeyed, elevating Woods.

Following an incredible eagle, Sabitini garnered the edge. However, Goosen’s birdie tied. Heartbeats later, Goosen forfeited the tie. Sabitini’s bogey then forfeited his lead. However, he reclaimed the edge on hole twelve. Following fourteen, Goosen, Sabitini, and Johnson were even. Johnson then ascended with a birdie.

Woods’ errors were incomprehensible. His anger was visible. Despite garnering the advantage, Woods never capitalized. He tallied three pars. He then relinquished his edge via bogey.

Following a final bogey, Woods was plus five. Staggered, Woods responded with an eagle. Inevitability pulsated. Unfortunately, Woods’ remained mute. Inexplicably, Woods tallied consecutive pars, missed a crucial birdie putt, and bunkered his seventeen shot.

Within sport, a difference exists between winning and losing. Woods opportunities were pronounced. However, Woods did not lose. Johnson vanquished history, pressure, and an obstinate golf course. Johnson won the Masters.
