Should they even hold this tournament, or should they just give Tiger the green jacket and get it over with? Given Tiger is the overwhelming favorite, who will give him their best shot? I think maybe Davis Love and Sergio Garcia.
Love, being a long hitter, should be kinda in the mix. Tiger wins by 6 strokes, takes the lead for good late in his Friday round.
They should only take a couple of bets in Vegas for this one. Tiger vs the rest of the field and an Over/Under on how many he wins by. I would be shocked if he does not win.
A lot of the players are saying w/ the rain it is going to play about 7600yrds. So Tigher should win for sure. I like how they say they are 'Tiger proofing" by making it longer. Uh, doesn't making a course longer help Tiger.
Martha is getting her revenge as the first round is postponed due to the rain. First time since 1939.
can we send the 101st to the master's so they can take out martha burk? i think we can all agree, it would be greatly appreciated...
Nice Price is the current leader in the clubhouse at -2. Of course he still has 18 more holes to go today. Darren Clarke is the overall leader at -6 thru 13.
An interesting article about how Tiger is not the longest hitter on the tour anymore (he's not even close): http://sport.guardian.co.uk/masters/story/0,13188,933230,00.html
I would say that is mostly BS. The driving stat is derived from two holes each round of a tournament. Could be Tiger is playing 3 wood or 2 iron off those tees at some point while the other guys are hitting driver. Also, Tiger often leaves a bunch of his distance in the bag and only brings it out when he needs it. Again, this may not fit the holes being measured that week. He can hit it as far as anybody out there and there is no way that man boobs Phil is longer than Tiger.
Tiger finishes his first round +4, one of his playing partners is Ricky Barnes who is the current US Am. champ. He shot -3.
Live Leaderboard Weir kicks it into high gear to hit -6. Clarke does the exact opposite and falls 4 strokes back to -2. Mickelson and Barnes round out the only 4 to be in under par at -1. And on a side and joyful note, Tigger is sitting pretty at +5. Leader at -6 1 at -2 2 at -1 6 at E 10 at +1 3 at +2 12 at +3 7 at +4 7 at +5 5 at +6
Tiger makes a charge to finish yesterday with a 66 and gets himself onto the leaderboard at -1. Weir stuggles and drops to to -3. Maggert makes a big run to take the lead at -5. Mickelson hangs on to stay at -1. Toms (-2) and Olazabal (-1) creep in as well to join to top 7 guys in below par numbers. Behind them 3 at E 7 at +1 4 at +2 5 at +3 It's looking to be a beautiful day today for golf on the hallowed fairways of Augusta. Mid to upper 70s with nary a cloud to be found in the sky. It's anyones tournament at this point, but the guys to watch are Weir, Singh, and Woods.
Please Lord, let Phil Mickelson win. Even I am tired of hearing about how Phil is the best player to never win a major.
