THREAD ALERT

I& #39;ve watched every @TheMasters you can watch. I& #39;m no @bamabearcat but I know a few @TheMasters "Fun Facts" that would make @the_fried_egg blush. One mystery remains....Who is this man?
NOBODY has dominated ANGC like this man, yet nobody I know knows who he is.
(2 of...?)
He first came to my attention in the& #39;90 event. I don& #39;t know if it& #39;s the golden mane, the proud posture or the "Sunday Red" that would be a harbinger of things to come, but this man commands your attention.
At cursory glance, I thought, "oh that& #39;s Bill Walton." but it is not Bill Walton. Here he is in & #39;91, again on #10.
(Is he posing?)
(4 of:)
Imagine the suspense in & #39;92 when the cameras got to #10 and the "Golden Patron" was nowhere to be found. I was legit concerned. But no need: we found him on #15. Again, in Sunday red. Who& #39;s winning? The Golden Patron is winning.
5 of:
He tried to hide in & #39;92, but we found him on 15. He tried to hide AGAIN in & #39;93 by going off brand and sported a festive black print in lieu of the Sunday Red.
Nice try, Goldy.
(His bud in pink shirt w/ sunglasses is like the John Oates of ANGC.)
Back to the lab in & #39;94. Our mystery man returns to #10. Thank God, he& #39;s back in Sunday Red by a stylish v-neck sweater vest w/ white slacks/shirt/shoes.
Do you know how good looking and confidient you have to be to wear white shirt/shoes/slacks? Extremely.
Harvey Penick& #39;s passing in & #39;95 touched many who love golf and may have inspired Ben Crenshaw to the winner& #39;s circle. But just look at the passion and emotion in The Golden Patron& #39;s eyes in & #39;95. As if he is staring down the ghost of Penick himself. #GameFace.
Guess who had a front row seat to Greg Norman& #39;s implosion in & #39;96? Damn straight. The Golden Patron.

WHO KNOWS THIS MAN. SPEAK UP.
What are the odds that The Golden Patron missed the 1997 @TheMasters?
Of course he was there. And the class act that he is, he let Tiger wear the Sunday Red while he wore....wait for it...a Koos sweater...You may know it as a Bill Cosby sweater.
WHAT A LEGEND.
(haven& #39;t seen John Oates in a few years, have we?)
He& #39;s never going to top the & #39;97 sweater or Tiger& #39;s win. But that& #39;s not gonna keep him from showing up every April.
In & #39;98 we see our man back on #10. He& #39;s slowed down the urban fashion attack and he& #39;s back in red with pleats that could cut rope.
Admittedly, I was really excited to see what he would wear in 1999 given the Y2K end times mindset. Would he go big? Maybe a purple tribute to Prince? Nope. He went stock.

Could he do it? Can he go the full decade?
END:
This man went to every single @TheMasters from & #39;90-& #39;00 (yes, there are more) and he did so with a style and panache that knows no equal.
If you know this icon of American sporting history, please, please contact me.
2001.... (because I know all of you want more.)
2002....What a beast.
Was 2003 the worst Masters ever? Because I can& #39;t find our man...

BUT....
Maybe the best of them all....

2004 Masters. Els is done if Mickelson makes par on 18 they go to playoff. Els decides he& #39;ll hit the putting green. Guess who waits for him there?
