During an interview on ESPN's 'Pat McAfee Show', Jim Nantz (lead anchor for CBS Sports) defended the network's coverage of the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club, which faced backlash for missing key moments, including Rory McIlroy's final putt. Nantz explained that mistakes are part of live television and expressed pride in his team's efforts. In contrast, NBC analyst Kevin Kisner criticized CBS for being 'way behind the action,' suggesting they relied too heavily on replays instead of live shots. He noted that some shots were delayed by seven to ten minutes, which he found surprising given his experience in television production. Ultimately, McIlroy secured the Masters title, finishing at 12-under par, just one stroke ahead of Scottie Scheffler.
