MICHAEL JOHNSON WINS 25TH MASTERS POOL
MICHAEL JOHNSON had 1 of 50 boards with the Masters winner, Hideki Matsuyama. That board earned the most money combined to win the 25th Masters Pool.
Johnson becomes the 25th Masters Pool winner. No one has won the Masters pool twice. That almost changed this year as yours truly, DAVE VALENTO, finished 2nd about $240,000 behind Johnson. Valento won the 2008 Masters Pool the year that Trevor Immelman won.
TIM DUGGAN was another $186,000 behind Valento to finish 3rd. MARVIN MELGAARD was 4th and BOB BROOKS was 5th.
The 2021 pool paid out twenty places with 20th earning $2,200. That was three-times the amount the first winner, Brendan O'Neill, won in 1997 ($710).
The big movers of the day on Sunday, Patrick Reed and Jon Rahm, were the difference in Johnson and Valento finishing 1st and 2nd. Bryan Dobek (12th place) might have won the pool had Xander Schauffle not triple bogeyed the 16th hole.
