The Masters

[Dback Jon]

Begins today!!

 

[TucsonDevil]

I am a Phil Fan, and disappointed with his front 9 today. I would love to see Tiger and Phil in the final pairing on Sunday, but Phil not wanting that to happen... apparently.

 

[ndjmc]

Not the start you want for lefty. Probably want get any easier for him either.

 

[Scott MS]

Going into the weekend, here's the leaderboard.

1. B. Wetterich (-2)
2. T. Clark (-2)
3. V. Taylor (-1)
4. J. Kelly (E)

Can you say BORING!?! Feel bad for CBS because nobody's going to be watching. If Phil or Tiger were up there, I'd be tuned in. Now, I got some free time on Sunday!!

 

[cardsunsfan]

are you sure about that?

 

[TucsonDevil]

Can't believe Tiger shoots even Par today and finds him in the final group in the final round (at least I assume he is in the final group with Stewart Appleby). What happened to the young American talent.. Zach Johnson, Vaugh Taylor, and Brett Wetterich? I know its playing like a zoo out there, maybe they can make a comeback.

Way to go Phil... when are you going to recover from Winged foot?

My dream scenario tomorrow... Tiger splits his femur bone on the 1st tee box and has to retire from Golf. His caddie ‘Stevie the hit man’ is indicted for child porn and sexually propositioning young boys.

But I am a dreamer... btw, I am not a Tiger fan. But you may have figured that out.

 

[Scott MS]

Ok, I changed my mind!!

Everybody collapses and Tiger has a great round. I'll be watching as Tiger probably wins again. I don't see any of these other guys at the top being able to deal with the pressure.

He looks fine to me. He could've melted down several times in the first three days (like Geoff Ogilvy did), but didn't. He's just been too erratic with his drives and putting. But, that's always been his main two problems.

The final pairing streak has to be broken at some time. I think that will happen today.

I heard Phil is not going to use his new Calloway driver(square face) anymore.

 

[Lefty]

Phil triple bogies the first hole and that all but ends his chance of defending his title.

 

[TucsonDevil]

I hated to see the 1st hole. However, it would be nice to see Phil finish at even par for the day - tough task, but it would give him a Top 10 finish and demonstrate his increasingly toughened emotions.

I would really like to see Vaughn Taylor rise up and snatch the green jacket.

Nice to see someone not falter on a Sunday against Tiger. Also nice to see former Wildcat Sabbatini finish well.

I agree 100%... I love how Jim Nance of CBS was disappointed when Tiger couldn't get it done. He almost sounded like he was going to cry when Tiger hit the bunker on the 17th.

ALSO - it was HUGE that an American won. We need a stronger Ryder Cup team!!!!!

CBS wanted Tiger to win so bad I am surprised they didn't widen the hole for him on 18 to increase his chances of getting the thing to sudden death. It kind of made my sick watching it...the nauseating homerism for Tiger.

Notice how CBS didn't have a camera on Johnson when Tiger was hitting on 17 or 18 to catch his reactions? You know CBS would have had multiple angles on Tiger had the roles been reversed.
