But this is The Masters. The final round had a rating of 10.2. For the previous week, the only prime-time show that beat that was The Big Bang Theory at 10.3 (the NCAA D-I Mens Tournament Final also drew 10.2). The only thing that would push the finish of the Masters off CBS would be a massive breaking news story, and even *then* I'm not sure CBS would roadblock coverage for it. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
