Wow! Flagstick: Yep. Me: I mean, wow! The memories you must have! Flagstick: Right. Me: So, what's your favorite moment here? Flagstick: Huh? Me: You're favorite Master's moment here.

When he sank that long putt here to beat Weiskoff. Flagstick: Oh, the '75 Masters. Right. I thought you said . . . Sure, sure, that was great. Just super. Me: Or maybe 1995? When Crenshaw put his shot in tight to practically sew up the Green Jacket? Flagstick: What? Oh yeah, yeah. Who, um, . . . who could forget that one? Me: Or how about 1986, when Jack won his sixth . . . Flagstick: Right, just classic. Look, can I bum a smoke off you? [End] |
