Posted 04/10/00 at 21:54:52 EDT  The man from the South Seas completed a long day's journey into night at the Augusta National Golf Club by winning the 64th Masters Tournament by three shots Sunday.

No comeback for Tiger
	Posted 04/10/00 at 20:48:47 EDT  There would be no fist pumps for Tiger Woods. No shots holed from the fairway, no improbable comeback from six shots down.

	Posted 04/10/00 at 22:04:00 EDT  Ernie Els has played well at times in his seven Masters appearances, but his performance on Sunday was something he'd only dreamed about.

	Posted 04/10/00 at 20:48:47 EDT  Desire got the best of David Duval. Staring down the pin on No. 13, he cracked. He pressed. Desperation overpowered logic.

Amateur treasures round with Nicklaus
	Posted 04/10/00 at 19:10:37 EDT  If nothing else, David Gossett got to experience the thrill of receiving a standing ovation on the 18th hole of the Masters Tournament.

Aaron not concerned with final score
	Posted 04/10/00 at 19:10:37 EDT  Tommy Aaron took one more stroll around the Augusta National Golf Club on Sunday. His score didn't matter. He just wanted to remember the Masters and the record he set this week, at age 63 becoming the oldest player to make the cut.
