No spoilers from me! But it was quite interesting from my point of view and a number of really good rounds were shot.
I just wanted to mention that Masters.com provided some wonderful extra coverage. I was streaming it while watching the main show on the TV.
They had a video channel called "Featured Groups" which covered all of Tiger's third round and most of his fourth round. That coverage was not shown on the main show.
They also showed Amen Corner where they showed all the groups going through 11, 12, and 13.
These coverages were commercial free and had different color and regular commentary. I've grown to hate Jim Nance as I did Brent Musberger and any coverage that does not include these clowns goes up in my humble estimation.
The only thing I didn't like was the inability to move back and forth in the stream. You could go back to the beginning, but couldn't move forwards even if the stream had advanced past you current position. When you join the stream, you engage at the current position. Any backwards movement throws you back to the beginning. Also the featured groups was shut down when the main show started on Saturday. This didn't seem to happen on Sunday.
So for next year, if you want to see more golf check the video channels out. More interesting than the stuff on the golf channel.
They begin earlier than the network coverage, too, which can make for a long couple of days in the TV chair.
