Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I mahia e Gene Sarazen me te pupuhi i rangona puta noa i te ao. I mahia e Ben Hogan i tana putanga kotahi anake i te Whakataetae Tuwhera. I tutuki i a Tiger Woods i te Kāinga o te Korowha. Ina tae mai ki te mahi Grand Slam ka rite nga whetu ki te ahua, a ka oti i nga mahi whakamiharo i runga i nga waahanga tika. Na, ināianei kua whai wāhi a Rory McIlroy ki te whakauru atu ki te kamupene nui o te tokorima tangata anake i Augusta National, i ngā wāhi katoa. Ka rite ki ta Woods i kii ai: 'He aha te mea pai ake hei tono atu i te whakaoti i konei?' Ko Rory McIlroy te tīmatanga o te rēhi tuatahi i tana rēhi whakangungu i mua i te 2015 Masters i te Rāhoroi. Kei te whai a McIlroy i tana taitara nui tuatoru me te otinga o tana mahi Grand Slam i Augusta. Ka kōrero a McIlroy (māui) ki a Tiger Woods, kei te 111 o te ao i tēnei wā, i te akoranga i te Rāapa. Na, 155 tau i muri i te whakataetae nui tuatahi, ka whakatuwheratia tētahi atu wā ki tētahi takahanga nui. He pakanga e kawea ai tātou ki tētahi rohe kāore i mōhiotia e tata ana ki Seattle mō te United States Open me St. Andrews mō The Open; ki ngā whenua mohoao o Wisconsin mō te PGA. Engari i konei, i te wāhi i tū ai ngā whakataetae nui atu i ētahi atu wāhi katoa, ka tīmata mātou ki ngā kōrero tino whakaongaonga o te katoa. He tino pai te whakatakotoranga o te 79 o nga Masters, me te tono a McIlroy ki te wikitoria i te tuatoru o nga mea nui, engari ko te hokinga mai o Tiger kua eke ki tetahi atu taumata. Ahakoa e aroha ana koe ki a ia, kāore rānei, kāore e taea te whakakahore i te whakaongaonga tāpiri e kawea mai ana e ia. He tino ngoikore, he tino hauora hoki, he tino pai ki te kite i a ia e haereere ana me te ataata i runga i tona mata, me te waitohu i nga waitohu, e tino harikoa ana ki te whakaatu i ana tamariki ki te wahi i waiho ai e ia he tohu kore. He tohu rānei tēnei hurihanga rite ki a Scrooge, kāore ia e whakaaro ka taea e ia te wikitōria, he tangata rānei kua kaha ake te aroha o tōna ngakau nā te kore i a ia? Ahakoa he aha te whakautu, he mea whakamīharo te mātakitaki i ngā rā e whai ake nei, i te mea ko te tangata i wikitōria i te 11 o ana whakataetae nui e 14 i runga i te tūranga tuatahi o te ao, e ngana ana ki te wikitōria i tētahi i runga i te tūranga 111. A koinei te tohu iti pai hei tuku atu ki a ia i runga i tana...
Ka tīmata te 79 o ngā Masters i Augusta hei te Rāhoroi. Kei te tohe a Rory McIlroy ki te wikitoria i tana tuatoru o nga taitara nui. Ka tae atu a Tiger Woods ki te whakataetae i te tūranga 111 o te ao.
