Read MoreMasters Final Round Draws A 7.8, Down From 10.4
/Awful Announcing summarizes the Tweets revealing the CBS final round ratings for the 2014 Masters, which they say hit a 10-year low. The 7.8 is down from a 10.4 last year and even from an 8.1 when Bubba Watson also won in 2012.
Ed Sherman says don't blame Tiger and Phil. I'm a bit shocked at some of the comments I've seen about the lack of a compelling cast. If Bubba fending off a huge mix of age groups, bonafide young guns Spieth and Fowler, along with the defending champion doesn't excite people, I'm not sure what leaderboard would. They only real fault lies in an excessive setup that stifled risk taking.
More interesting is this Classic TV Sports breakdown of the shots shown Sunday. Jordan Spieth led the way with 70, followed by Bubba at 68, Kuchar at58 and finished off by Lee Westwood at zero.
