Believe it or not, Colin Montgomerie has got it wrong.
To be fair, it wasn't just Monty who was wide of the mark. Butch Harmon, Paul McGinley, Ken of #KenOnTheCourse: they were all wrong too. Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy was not the Masters' best pairing yesterday. No, that honour belonged to Tom Watson - who completed his final professional round at Augusta on Friday - and popular hip-hop star Lil' Wayne.
As Watson completed his final round at the Masters' on Friday, he earned applause from an unlikely source:
Jus gave Tom Watson a standin O in my living room Well deserved Such an honor to watch greatness from the day I knew what golf was U go Tom!

Marvellous. Watson, ever the professional and quite possibly flattered by such praise, replied:
Appreciate the support @LilTunechi I'll be giving you a standing O at one of your shows soon! https://t.co/3gbGvtwJAa

We cannot wait to see Watson at Lil' Wayne's next concert, and the whole story gave us one of the finest push notifications in some time:
When you think about it, both have quite a lot in common. Both are rich, and Watson has reached some serious highs by rolling a ball across a green. Lose the 'ball' and add a preposition there, and you are not too far away from Lil' Wayne either.
