30 wins internationally (10 on TOUR), Players Champion, Ryder Cup legend, and now for the first time, Major winner.  These are not alternative facts, people.

It was 10 years ago, TEN YEARS, that we all watched Sergio’s par putt to win his first major title at the Open Championship at Carnoustie slide by the hole and force a playoff that no one believed for a second would be competitive.  Not this year.  This year, coming down the 18th during the playoff, Sergio stripes his drive a solid 330+, and puts his 8 iron to 10 feet for a winning birdie.  Justin Rose, we salute you for your effort, but it was just not meant to be your day.

To you, Sergio:
This entire tournament, in particular your final round, was a perfect microcosm of your career.  Ups and downs, terrible breaks, awful lies, insane recoveries, missed putts, and some of the best ball-striking anyone has seen or will see anywhere forever.

You did it.  You finally did it.  And we loved every minute of it.

Congratulations from the PowerFade Team.
