Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  He kaiwaiata mātou mō ngā kaitākaro e tākaro ana me te nui o te ngākau. I roto i te take o Erik Compton, kia maha: ngā ngākau. Ka tīmata ia i tēnei wiki i te Masters i tana tuatoru. He pai ake te mōhiotanga o te hōia e 35 tau te pakeke mō tana hākinakina kōaro, i te mea i taea e ia te wikitōria kia whiwhi ai ia ki tētahi wāhi i te mara. Engari kaore a Compton i te whakama ki te whakapuaki i tana kōrero. E kōrero ana a Erik Compton ki a Jim Furyk i te wā o te whakaakoranga i Augusta i mua i te Masters. Ko te whakato ngakau tuatahi i te 12, ko te tuarua i te tau 2008 whai muri i te mate pukupuku nui - e kiia ana e nga taote he 'kaihuki pouaru' - i a ia e haere ana ki te kāinga mai i tētahi akoranga me tana kaiako roa me tana hoa tata a Charlie DeLucca. Kua ngana ia ki te whakahoki mai i te wā i ngaro mai i taua wā. 'He uaua, engari he mea nui ano hoki,' i kii a Compton i te Mane i muri i te rauna whakangungu i Augusta National. E rua ngā taha o ahau. He kaiwhakataetae ahau, he tangata hākinakina hoki, ā, e rua hoki aku whakawhitinga, ā, e mōhio ana ahau ki ngā mea e pā ana ki tērā. Na, ina whakakotahi koe i a ratou, e hanga e te reira i te iti moka o te spaghetti i roto i toku ngakau i ētahi wā e matau ana koe. ' 'Ka tango ahau i te reira,' tāpiri ia i te wa i muri mai. Ehara i te mea he kōwhiringa tā Compton. I ora ia mai i tana ngoikoretanga o te tamarikitanga ki te noho ko te No. 1-rangatira rangatahi i te United States i te 18, ka rua nga wa All-American i Georgia. Ko Compton, e 35 ona tau, ka puta tuatahi ki te whakataetae rongonui i tēnei wiki. Engari i pau i a ia te nuinga o ngā tau i waenganui i te whawhai ki ngā rauna rangatahi, kātahi ka noho hei kaitautoko, hei kaikorero hoki mō Donate Life, he hononga mō ngā rōpū ā-motu, ā-rohe hoki e whakanui ana i te mōhio mō te koha okana me te kiko. I roto i te āhua o te tūponotanga, ko tana putanga tuatahi ki te Tohu Matua i te wā o te Marama o Donate Life. Engari he pakanga tonu tēnei mō Compton - kua roa ia e whakaatu ana i te tohu o te whakahaere i runga i te ringa o tana koti. Ko aua mahi katoa i whai hua nui i te tau kua hipa, i a ia e whai wāhi ana ki te PGA Tour, ā, tata ana ki te tahae i te whakaaturanga i te US Open. Ko tana whakaotinga tuarua i Pinehurst i akiaki i a Compton me tana korero ki te tirohanga nui - a ka riro i a ia he...
E rua nga whakawhitinga ngakau a Erik Compton, ko te whakamutunga i te tau 2008. Ko Compton, kei runga i tana ngakau tuatoru, kua rite ki te mahi i tana timatanga Augusta. Ko te 35 tau te pakeke he kaitautoko hoki mo te aroha Donate Life. Ko tana putanga tuatahi ki te Masters e ōrite ana ki te Marama Donate Life.
