They've never played as retired Masters, so they were still in game-shape.

Ah, but take away the 60 minute penalty, and we would have been first (even ahead of the REAL winners, SSLFNAB(FORFAPFNM)). And hell, if we're taking away the 60 minute penalty, that would mean we had recognized the stack of luggage, so take away the 30 wasted minutes of trying to find that and we would have won by a large margian. AND take into account that after taking the 60 minute penalty we spent a good deal of time feeling defeated and moving slowly...
Of course, pure speculation, who knows how things would actually have gone, but I feel comforted that the results show that it really was that single gap in our knowledge that was our undoing, not some overall loss of competative edge.
