Witnessing Jack's final green jacket ranks very high on my list of most memorable sports moments.

Tomorrow will be interesting as that old saying that the Masters doesn't really begin until the back 9 of the Final Round is usually true.

I was at a conference in the bush and, back then, television was broadcast only a few hours a day anyway. But, they telecast that charge and I can tell you that South Africans of all persuasions were screaming for Jack to win. It was one of the first times I ever felt at home here. There must have been fifty people in the pub and not a dry eye around.
