Wanna see a nice picture?


Tiger Woods pleads for the ball to fall on the 16th hole Sunday at the Masters. It gave him a two-shot lead.


Photographer's note: AJC staff photographer Brant Sanderlin almost didn't catch this defining moment Sunday on the 16th green -- Tiger Woods' dramatic birdie in the final round of the Masters. "I couldn't find a position to shoot, so I was about a second away from just going to the 18th hole," said Sanderlin, who was covering his fourth Masters. He tried to camp out up on the grandstand stairs but was kicked off by a security guard. Relegated to the bottom step, "I was surprised to find I could see the green." But his angle of Woods chipping was not very good because the golfer was off the green. That all changed when Woods hit his shot and started walking onto the green to watch the ball's journey. "A lot of it was the luck of being at the right angle," Sanderlin said. "It went from being a poor angle to a great one when he walked onto the green."

10. Fortune 500 companies
Most tickets for the Masters are passed through businesses. The membership of Augusta National is now basically Forbe's Fortune 500 CEO's and the like.

I worked for a company that had tickets-they gave them to customers-but everyone who went was warned that any misbehavior could/would result in their ejection from the premises and tickets revoked.
