    He was 100 percent right. The fact that Bubba got away with it doesn't mean it wasn't a big mistake.

    Miguel in the house at minus-4. Terrific tournament.

    Stay thirsty, my friends.

    Honestly, this might go down as one of the most boring Masters Sundays in recent memory. No one has made a move on the back nine and Bubba has been pretty solid since taking the lead at the turn.

    Great tournament for Jimenez.

    Not a lot of back-nine magic or roars.

    This thing pretty much ended at 8 and 9 with the four-shot swing.

    A pet peeve: I just heard Nantz say something a number of announcers have said a few thousand times this week: "fellow countryman." STOP IT! It's just "countryman." "Fellow countryman" is redundant.

    Good for Bubba. Nice moment picking up Caleb, who Angie must have put down, and then high-fiving with bunches of fans.

    Saw a column saying this Masters lacked characters, lacked something just because Eldrick was out for medical reasons and Phil because he missed the cut. Take one look at Bubba and try convincing anyone this isn't a character.

    What it lacked was drama on the back nine Sunday, when the drama is usually at its highest level.

    I enjoy Feherty a lot more during the Masters. He's less obnoxious but still sharp. Great line early today when Blixt hit a drive left into the crowd and had to move some fan's stuff. He picked up a purse and Feherty said "that sooo does not match his outfit."

    Love Feherty. And enjoy listening to him at Augusta because he's biting his tongue a lot and knows he can't cross the line ala "bikini wax" McCord, so it makes him more entertaining to see what he comes up with to not cross that line.

    Yeah, it may have lacked in drama, but it was still Augusta National. And I know a lot of people teared up a bit at the sight of Bubba's son waddling toward his dad.

    I hope someone got a still picture of that.

    Glad I watched Saturday, when there was some action. The big surprise is that none of those entering the fourth round under par did better than one under today - except for Bubba. Would have thought somebody heading out before the final pair would have made a run.

    Given all the birdies and bogeys by the leaders on the front nine, I was expecting a wild ride on the back nine. There are so many risk-reward holes, which is what IMO makes Augusta such a great course. But Watson was just solid, never really got in trouble. I kept waiting for Spieth or Kuchar to make an eagle on one of the par 5s and mount a charge, but it never came.
