After what had been a challenging day at the Augusta National Golf Course, Homa knew he had his task cut out on Sunday. Yet, he maintained a positive outlook. "I played today with a ton of gratitude and ap-| preciation for the opportunity to do this. I'm really glad I get to do it again tomorrow," the 33-yearold had said on Saturday evening, before adding a quote you'd want to remember: "If I catch myself thinking about what can go wrong, I let myself dream about what can go right."

While Homa could not go all the way in the Masters as he finished third in a tie with Collin Morikawa and Tommy Fleetwood, little did the American know what he had said on Saturday reverberated in another 33year-old athlete's ears halfway around the world two days later at the Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata. Jos Buttler. Batting in front of a packed home crowd, Buttler was on 42 from 33 balls, attempting a record run chase of 224 against Kolkata Knight Riders.
