“Tee It Up” Temple receives coveted Green Jacket
Round 1 thrilled spectators as “Master of the Master’s” Mucklow surged to the top of the leaderboard at 13 under par, inching out “Tee to Tree" Turick and “Rham Can’t Beat This” Rentz. Turick announced his withdrawal late in the day due to an X-Box injury to his arm. The spectator favorite, “Master of the Master’s” Mucklow, was confident in his post-round press conference. When asked about his performance throughout Round 1, Mucklow attributed his stellar performance to “good course management” and “the ability to stay within himself” throughout the round.
But on Day 2, the final round of the CRE Master’s, the winds of success for Mucklow began to wane when amateurs, “Tee It Up” Temple, “Ace It At Augusta” Anderson and “Kill It With My Driver” Kufasimes came off the tee strong and carried sub-par scores throughout the round. The grit, focus and determination of these players could be felt by every spectator watching along the fairways. In the final 4PM pairing, “Master of the Master’s” Mucklow experienced a slow start on Hole #1. “Rham Can’t Beat This” Rentz went in for a long putt off the first tee and finished the first hole with a birdie. Mucklow knew he needed a sub-par round to fend off Temple. But both “Rahm Can’t Beat This” Rentz and “Master of the Master’s” Mucklow buckled under pressure leaving several birdie opportunities on the greens. “Tee It Up” Temple ultimately held on to his Day 2 lead and a combined low score of 21 under par. Temple stood proudly as he was presented the coveted green jacket. A true champion on golf’s greatest stage.
"Rham Can't Beat This" Rentz finishes strong on 9th hole.
“Captain Cabbage” Corace scores hole in one on 8th hole!
