Record Broken at The Masters..

No, it does not consist of how many women a golfer has slept with. As a matter of fact, Tiger is not even involved in this. Check out this tidbit the AP reported:


"Italian 16 year-old Matteo Manassero became the youngest player to ever make the cut at the Masters, sinking three long par putts on the back nine Friday to finish at 3-over�right on the cutline. Manassero has now made the cut at both his majors, having tied for 12th at last summer�s British Open. �I always want to stay levelheaded since that�s the education that my parents gave me,� he said. �My parents help me also in this period to stay more level. But I dream for something like the Masters.� So do older golfers, and they don�t have his track record.


Manassero, who last summer became the youngest winner in the 124-year history of the British Amateur, shattered Augusta National�s previous record for youngest player to make the cut. South African Bobby Cole was about a month shy of his 19th birthday when he made it in 1967. Manassero is also the first amateur to play the weekend since 1999.And he�s the lone teenager out of the four in this year�s field to make the cut."


Now, I'm not knocking Tiger's return or his warm welcome by the fans. It's just that I noticed how this feat by Manassero got pushed to the back burner because the prodigal son has returned. You know last time I checked, there weren't too many 16 year olds making there way around Augusta National for a crack at the green jacket. Know why? BECAUSE IT'S THE FIRST F%@$IN' TIME...EVER!


Kudos to you, Matteo! From one Paesano to another, in bocca al lupo!
