The Masters

BOOM, BOOM aslo had a great week last weekend, tied for third. He's now working with Butch Harmon and it showed. I would like to see him in the mix on Sunday. He will be a fan favorite.

It will be interesting to see how lefty holds up? Or better put which lefty shows up, he could certainly be a threat.
Freddy looked pretty good last week and is really hitting the ball a long way for his age. Working with Harmon has helped him allot but I think for the first time in about 3 years he is playing with a good back. I would def. not bet against Tiger but with this event anyone came make a run for the title. I would really injoy watching Freddy or Phil win and would have a tough time choosing who to cheer for if it came down to both of them.

Looks like Matty fixed it. Thanks MK

Smart money has to be on Tiger. With Lefty you don't know which player will
show up. I wouldn't be surprised if Fuyrk or Steve Stricker sneaks in there.

I really like Tiger and what he has done for golf but those announcers drive me crazy. Its like Tiger this, Tiger that, he hits a 70 yard wedge to within 7 feet and you would have tought that he made the oceans part. They make me cheer for anyone but Tiger but I have to say I love to watch him play.

For a while I felt this way but after watching him some more I realized he really is a good as they say. Or, he really is that much better than everyone else. It isn't that he does things that others can't do. It's that just about every shot he takes on a golf course would be a great shot for everyone else. Every shot. He is so consistent. He doesn't go out and blow everyone away for two days and coast. He'll go out and shoot 66-67 for four days and anyone close to him probably shot 64-65 a couple days and 71-72 on the others. His consistency per shot and per round is simply amazing. I think most commentators are just awe struck at how he does it shot after shot.

A total world of darkness! Wow, thats unreal all groups finished in those conditions.

It could be costly down the stretch who knows, Furyk missed a usual automatic 4' putt on 18, Els flew the green on 18 and ended up with bogey, and Westwood missed a normal par putt on 17 from 4'. Then Badds, and Camilo both bogeyed 18, Westwood had a nice par save.

Overall it looks like the smart play IMO would have been finish in the am for the last two groups, as bad as that sucks.....which sucks more getting up a little earlier or tacking on a few strokes.

What I did get to see the course is very tough, long and difficult pins to attack for a Thursday.

Nice to see Lefty start off strong -1, the defending champ Zach Johnson also played well I believe he opened up with -2 last year when he put on the Green Jacket? Tiger in the house at even par. No big surprises at the top of the leaderboard. KUDUS to the Va. Tech. amateur Drew Weaver he did a fine job representing Hookie Nation!

Shot of the day Poulter ACED #16, Nice!

T. Immelman leading the pack. Lefty in the hunt, and playing great. Should be a great weekend of golf, can Tiger get back in position to make a run?

I would love to see Tiger get back in position. Nothing would be better for golf than a
Tiger vs. Phil showdown on the back nine at Augusta.

Question for SmootSmack: Does ESPN have content control over its broadcasts or is it all the CBS technical crews and production people? Wht I'm getting at is if ESPN wanted more Tiger (I gotta have more Tiger) would they get it or are they basically just taking a feed + Tirico?

Are you talking about a particular day?
