I wonder how the Philippines would have celebrated if Pinoy Aussie Jason Day had won today? He really had a very good chance of winning the Masters, if not for the birdie barage of the eventual winner from South Africa. I rooted hard for Jason from start to end, that despite the electrifying front nine charge of Tiger.
Jason Day talks like an Aussie but looks 100% Filipino - like a good looking tall Pinoy in the street. I read he had a tough life when his Aussie Dad passed away while he was still young and his Filipina mother Dening had to look after him and his 2 siblings. Dening must be a very proud mother now.
Oh, Jason Day has a really hot wife. Only in his early 20s, I hope he continues to shine in the PGA hereon.
Oh, he's Noy-pi. He played one hell of a game with a 12 under. And he almost won! Sayang.
But with all due respect to kabayang Jason and to winner Charl, the biggest story of this Masters is Tiger Woods, again. He didn't win. He didn't putt well ( 3 putted 6 times ). But the front 9 ( 4 birdies & and an eagle ) with pump fists and all were enough to send the Augusta crowd into frenzy. And enough to send the early leaders like Rory to panic. Sounds familiar?. I think Tiger is the only golfer who can command a "ginebra like" atmosphere in the golf course. Tama ka -
electrifying. And just like MJ when he first came out of retirement, Tiger is back. Not good news for the others.
As for Kabayang Jason, Mabuhay ang Pilipinas. Sana magtagumpay ka pa. Hot wives may not sit well with successful golfers ( go ask Tiger ) but who knows? Maybe a Pinoy can prove them wrong.
