UNLV Graduate s Master's Champ

From the Las Vegas Sun: Adam Scott finished the job this time, and put an end to more than a half-century of Australian misery at the Masters.
With the two biggest putts of his career, the former UNLV golfer holed a 20-footer for birdie on the 18th hole of regulation that put him into a playoff with Angel Cabrera, and then won his first major championship Sunday with a 12-footer for birdie on the second extra hole.
“We like to think we’re the best at everything. Golf is a big sport at home, and this is the one thing in golf we hadn’t been able to achieve,” said Scott, who golfed one season at UNLV in the late 1990s. “It’s amazing that it’s my destiny to be the first Australian to win. It’s incredible.”
Scott leaned back and thrust his arms in the air after the putt dropped on the 10th hole, a celebration for all of Australia and personal redemption for himself. Also, he became the first UNLV golfer to win a major tournament championship.

It's good to see a UNLV grad do good.
And another major and another Tiger choke.
I still say Woods will not come close to Jack Nicklaus's record of major's won.  He may win 1 more major but that's about it for Woods.
