Yes, it's Jim Nantz time of year again. He's now set to announce the Masters after doing the final four where he made several dog references as the Butler Bulldogs played the Connecticut Huskies in the finals. His last line was "Connecticut is the best in show."
Hopefully he improves upon that one this week at Augusta. Nantz typically comes up with some poetic quotes to describe the action or the winner. Some have been really good while some have been fairly horrendous.
A few from the past:
"A win for the ages."
After Tiger won the 97 Masters.
"A win for the family."
After Mickelson won the 2010 Masters.
"Vijay stands for victory."
After Vijay Singh won the 2000 Masters.
"The bear has come out of hibernation."
While Jack was making his back nine run at the 86 Masters.
"Y.E. Yes."
After Y.E. Yang won the 2009 PGA Championship to beat Tiger.
He actually quoted a Bette Midler poem about roses when Justin Rose won the Memorial.
Quiz: Try and guess who these lines would be for:
"May the Schwartzel be with you"
"One fine day"
"Great Scott"
"A win for the arthritic"
"A win for Japan"
"He paints his finest Masterpiece"
"Over the hills and out of the Woods"
"No extinction for this big cat"
