Tiger Woods walked off the 18th green as a Masters champion for the fifth time, a major champion for the 15th time, and the sensation was unlike anything he had ever felt.
More memorable than any shot the 8-iron that trickled by the hole at the 16th was the decisive blow was the purposeful stride toward his son, grabbing Charlie with both arms, lifting the boy and turning from side to side.
His mother was next. His daughter. His loyal support staff. And then a lineup of players outside the clubhouse, some of them in green jackets. They had been upstairs in the locker room reserved for champions, yet they shared a feeling with the entire golf world.
Memories gave way to reality.
"That's going to be in people's minds forever," Rickie Fowler said last month, just two days before the Masters was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Was it his biggest win?
The most historical?
"The amount of emotion that people were showing, that's what blew my mind."
"There was a lot of guys watching in the champion's locker room and I stayed and watched. You don't often get that group of people together very often. You just had that sense it's a significant moment in the sport again."
"I had my family there. I was flying out Sunday afternoon. I played early that day, and we pushed the flight back. I wanted to watch that."
