Masters

Today marked the first rounds of this years Master Tournament in Augusta, GA. The Masters is a tournament that has a long and storied tradition. It is played at Augusta National Golf Club. The winner of this historical tournament gets the Green Jacket. The Green Jacket is what is awarded in lieu of a trophy and has been since 1949. The Green Jacket is a sport coat that is obviously green and has the well known yellow logo on the left chest pocket. I personally, would wear that jacket as much as possible. After today's round the leader is a tie between Alvaro Quiros (Spain) and Rory McIlroy (England) at seven under par. My favorite golfer and the raining champion of the Green Jacket, Phil Mickelson, is tied for 14th at two under par. Tiger Woods is is also at the top of the leader board at 24th with a one under par.
