Recap: Final day of the Masters
I entered with major exposure to DeChambeau and Conners, both in the final pairings.
I’d whittled down my portfolio over the weekend from T21 coverage to a tight core focused on the leaders. I had also taken profit on McIlroy when his position was priced at 81% of max price yesterday, so I had no exposure to him throughout today.
The day started strong: DeChambeau was holding, McIlroy looked dominant at -14, and prices were moving fast. But golf is chaos.
Rory choked, Bryson fell apart, and I bought back into Rose + Åberg regained relevance unexpectedly. Suddenly it wasn’t a two-horse race.
My plays weren’t about backing the winner—I profited through sharp entries, exits, and rotation among contenders, surfing the volatility.
As things heated up, I bought back into into Rose and Åberg around midday when they came back into contention. Grabbed 35k shares of each as they made their moves.

A few holes later, my portfolio looked sharp—nearly all in the top contenders, strong positioning. Rose’s price ripped, portfolio touched 13M, then slipped to 12M, then 6.3M, and I could feel the shift coming.
Of course, I didn’t sell the top. Most people rarely do time things perfect in such volatile markets.
When it became clear Rory was about to take it or force a playoff, I bailed. Locked in ~4.8M gain.
That brought me to ~18.4M liquid right as it looked like Rory had it clinched. That hilariously was exactly 420 bucks at the $BRACKY rate. Serendipity.
Thought I was done. But when Rory missed his final putt, I pounced.
Bought 50k shares of Rose at 0.82—a desperation moonshot. Total cost? About 4,000 $bracky (9 cents). If Rose pulled it off, I’d walk away with 50M $bracky (~$1k). Wild edge case.
Someone else aped in right after at 114.5 per share for 9.2M $BRACKY. But fate is cruel.

Rose missed his chance,l in didn't death, Rory nailed it, and I cashed out for an additional gain of 447k. Turned 9 cents into 10 bucks.
Not bad, all things considered. Glad I kept most of my stack sidelined during the volatility of today.
In total, I started the Masters with 300k from March Madness leftovers. Added 5.9M in deposits, and as of the close I’m sitting at ~18.8M $BRACKY in balance.
Learned a ton about golf this week. Played the volatility well. Never had the winner on Sunday, but rotated profitably all day.
McIlroy earned that green jacket. Meanwhile, I feel like I’m learning from my mistakes and trying not to let the greed get the better of me.
And now… it’s time to see what the next market brings.
As always, thanks for the fun experience to the @bracky team, without whose airdrop I never would have gotten the chance to learn a bit about golf.
