Full Bag
Before British Open Champion Padraig Harrington began his final round of the Masters, he filled his golf bag full with half a dozen bananas, along with crackers and other energy bars.
"Don't worry, it will be all gone by the time we finish," Harrington said.
He had trouble closing his bag, but said he didn't think he could upgrade.
"I've already got the largest bag out here, but I need plenty of room for my snacks," Harrington added.
Brokaw's burden
Former NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw was making his first visit to the Masters, trying for prepare for an assignment to write about his first visit for a national golf publication, leaving the veteran journalist and book author scrambling for material.
"I still trying to figure out when my deadline is," Brokaw said underneath the Clubhouse veranda. "I think they want it pretty early, so I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to say. But this is wonderful."
Kentucky Blues
University of Kentucky alumni Steve Flesch took advantage of his late afternoon tee time and his extensive TV coverage, to wear his University of Kentucky colors.
Flesch wore his blue and white stripped shirt with his Kentucky logo on his golf bag.
Fellow UK alumni and Masters Participant J.B. Holmes had his Kentucky head covers with him Sunday
Weaver returns
Current British Amateur champion Drew Weaver, who missed the 36-hole on Friday, returned to the course Sunday to cheer on his fellow Virginia Tech golfer Johnson Wagner.
Weaver will return to college action on Wednesday at the ACC championship in North Carolina, but was determined to savor Augusta National and the Masters as long as possible.
"I meet my team on Wednesday, but I wanted to be out on the course and get to be here as long as possible," he said, still wearing his player pin.
"I can't wait to start wearing all my Masters gear."
Faces in the Crowd
Sunday faces in the crowd included legendary golf architect Robert Trent Jones II, former two-time U.S. Open champion Andy North, Champions Tour player Gil Morgan, and ex-NFL quarterback Steve Bartkowski.
