Long Sportstiger Poems

Diamond In the Rough

Its the final day
At the US Masters
This Highlander
Enjoying new pastures
 
Recently turned pro
Leader-board he tops
As he partners Tiger
Playing brilliant shots
 
Eagle, birdie
Birdie, par
With play like this
He's sure to go far
 
Neck and neck 
On the seventeenth
This Highlander 
Needs to be seen
 
Par 4, 
440 yards
He hits a screamer
Crowd applauds
 
Tiger matches
They both hit the green
Both down in three
Birdies mean
 
The eighteenth
Green Jacket beckons
Who will win it
Tiger i reckon
 
What a drive 
By Tiger woods
Down the middle
As professionals should
 
The Highlander, lovely swing
Ball flying, hear that ping
Cross wind carries, fairway missed
The crowd in awe, Tiger bliss
 
Tiger excels, gets down in three
One inch form the hole, a gimme
The Highlander, iron picked
Sweet shot, hit so slick
 
See it rise, towards its goal
On to the green towards the hole
Undulations, impede it none
As it drops in, under the Georgia sun
 
The Highlander, awaits the crowd
Nano second, applause out loud
This newly pro, who found it tough
Newly named
Diamond in the Rough
