I'll get to Angel in a bit, but let's talk about the also-rans in this Masters. More specifically, did they choke?
Phil Mickelson: Ahh yes, a B.o.B. favorite. Can anyone else make a 67 on Sunday at Augusta look worse? I mean, the guy goes out in 30. 30!!! He then proceeds to put one in the drink on No. 12 for a double, make ho-hum birdies on the par-5s, miss makeable putts on Nos. 14, 16, and 17, and bogey No. 18.
Despite that though, I'm not going to rip a guy that just shot 67 on Sunday at Augusta. At least I'm not going to give him more crap than some other guys, such as....
Tiger Woods: If anyone in the world has earned the title of non-choker it's Eldrick Woods, BUT that doesn't mean you can't say the guy collapsed when things got tight. He's goes to No. 17 coming off of two straight birdies, one back of the lead, and just like in 2005, he finishes bogey-bogey.
Tiger Woods is not a choker, but he choked as much as anyone in this Masters.
Shingo Katayama: Didn't choke at all, but seriously, how awesome would a Tiger-Angel-Shingo playoff have been. The old Augusta guard would not have liked that, and I would have loved how much they didn't like that.
Chad Campbell: He missed a five-footer in a playoff. That's a semi-choke, it's a quasi-choke, it's the Diet Coke of choke, it's the margarine of choke.
Kenny Perry: To be honest, I'll let the bogey on No. 18 slide. That hole is hard. But No. 17, from the middle of the fairway, then with a basic chip, you just can't do that. I think Kenny is such a sentimental guy that he started to write his own story in his head after No. 16. When you get ahead of yourself like that you're done.
