Ernie Els has already posted a weblog entry about his experience at the Masters this year. Its alot more text than I would have expected, but here's bottom line:

All in all, I�d say it was the best back nine I�ve ever played in my 11 years at the Masters. I felt like I�d given it everything. Now I had the agonising wait to see how Phil would finish. I knew by then that he�d birdied the 16th to tie me at eight under par. I sat behind the green for a few minutes, but then decided it was best if I went off to the practice green and hit a few putts. I just wanted to gather my thoughts and get myself mentally prepared for a possible playoff.

The putting green is not far from the 18th green and I knew Phil had hit a good shot into 18, just from the gallery�s reaction. Then a few minutes later I heard a huge cheer and I knew he�d holed for a birdie to beat me by won. That split-second moment when you know it�s over is a horrible feeling; it mentally knocks the stuffing out of you a bit, to be honest. But what can you do? I had a feeling it was going to be my week and overall I played well. But Phil beat me. That�s how it goes. I�m sure in a couple of days I�ll reflect on the week and be able to take a lot of positives from the way I played.
