Charl Schwartzel Wins the Masters

"You forgot the 'E-S.' " 
"Nope, that's how you spell it Tig."
I was trying to think of a better title, perhaps some sort of pun, but there just isn't a lot that can be done with Schwartzel.  Jason Day would have been a nice win; "A Day to Remember" or "A Master-ful Day."  Or Newman's idea if Rory McIlroy won; "Rory's Glory Story."  Alas, we're left with Charl Schwartzel.

Going into the day, with McIlroy holding a four stroke lead, this Masters had the potential of being merely a victory lap for the young man from Northern Ireland.  But instead, thanks to some amazing play, some lucky shots, and an epic collapse, it turned out to be one of the more exciting tournaments in recent memory, featuring seven different players in the lead at some point on Sunday.
