Double bogey thereand a bogey from the back fringe at 16doomed Weekley's quest for a top 10 finish,but he saved his best for last, smackinga downwind nine-iron 170 yards onthe final hole and canning his 18-footerfor birdie. Weekley had, in fact, madeMasters history: First player to be sent offthe 72nd hole to sustained Booing.

"It's just golf," a grinning Weekley saidafterward, shrugging off his final-round77 and 20th-place finish. "As long as I getdone without breakin' somethin' or hurtin'somebody, that's my goal."

Besides, he hadanother good tournament to look forwardto: the Verizon Heritage on Hilton HeadIsland, S.C., where Weekley just happenedto be the defending champion.

"It's beenfun," he told the reporters behind the 18thgreen. "Now I'm gonna go get in my vehicleand drive over there."

With Boo, one has to conclude, whatyou see is what you get. But you have to rememberthat he decides what you see.
