I stood behind that spot during the Tuesday practice rounds and looked through there. Little did I know what historic play would originate from there five days later.

Okay, I definitely agree with the SOTY, but neither of the 59’s make the cut as ROTY? (yes, yes, neither won the Masters in a come-from-behind, but still…)
