The past four days have been filled with Masters updates from our family group chat. There were cheers, taunts, and disappointments shared among the twelve of us involved in the pool and many laughs as well. Karen had chosen the fan favorite, Rory McIlroy, as her pick and was tied for the lead after three rounds. The rest of us were cheering for other golfers and for a time it looked like my pick, Cameron Young, would be the winner as he started the day tied with Rory, but the pressure must have gotten to him as he couldn't make a putt. Maggie's pick, Justin Rose, climbed to the top before a few errant shots knocked him down to third. Cora was the last lone one in our group to have any chance of catching Rory as her pick, Scottie Scheffler, came roaring back on the last nine, but unfortunately, he ran out of holes before he could send the tournament into a playoff.
As a family we were divided on who were rooting for on the last few holes, some for Karen and others for Cora. Either way it was a lot of fun and the closest Masters that I had watched in a long time. In the end, Karen was excited to have won our family pool, and I was thankful that everyone had a great time together even though we all lived miles apart.
