A blockbuster of a weekend for Asian golf.
It is the first time that Asians have done the Euro/US double and is a sign of improving standards throughout the continent.
Surely it will not be long before an Asian wins a Major - one might even achieve the feat before a European breaks the continent's seven year drought in Major championships.
KJ loves Augusta, he was third there in 2003, and the way he is striking the ball these days - long and unnerringly straight - he must have a chance.
