Masters’ commentator Nick Faldo got roasted on social media for his reaction to Rory McIlroy holing out from the bunker on 18 at the Masters. Those watching the broadcast were watching Sheffler/Smith while Faldo said something to the likes of “Something incredible just happened on 18”. One tweet on Twitter read: “Nick Faldo probably gives away the Wordle answer every morning too…”

Try Wordle, cool online game. (As a public service, the best way to google something like “Wordle” is on google.com)

I can’t say that I own direct shares of Twitter but I hope you do!

“Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out to the crowd;
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don’t care if I never get back.
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don’t win it’s a shame.
For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out,
At the old ball game.”
