I Got Tiger Woods

[Drake]

I offered my buddy either Tiger Woods or "the field" in The Masters for a steak dinner, he took the field... I figure I got the best of it... Thoughts?

I think Tiger wins. My dark horses are Adam Scott or Aarron Baddeley.

Excactly what i'm thinking.

Ain't gonna be Phil Mickleson!

[Pearland Longhorn]

Saturday will be the most brutal day in Masters history. This course is an absolute monster right now. Imagine what will happen when the 20mph winds and 30 degree temp comes...

Good point Pland - good point. This could get ugly - British Open ugly - I think it's gonna be fun!

[Favpack]

I don't see Tiger winning - he's all over the place and looks lost. Someone will get hot tomorrow - not sure who.

[twcpfan1]

Does anybody else think that Mickelson looks like John Daly's twin right now? Or at least headed that way on the fast track?

This will probably look like heck, but here's the leaderboard
I think JJ is 3 over - I saw him hole a bunker shot for a birdie - he's got game for sure. I might pull for Wetterich - he's a big American hitter - looks like he could be from Texas - and he won the Nelson last year.

1 Tim Clark -2 F -1 71 71 -- -- 142
1 Brett Wetterich -2 F +1 69 73 -- -- 142
3 Vaughn Taylor -1 F E 71 72 -- -- 143

I didn't think they played the U.S. Open this early...

...what, this is The Masters? :eek:

Goodness, gracious!

There's only 3 people below par.

Looks like St. Andrews a few years ago. The leader after day 2 was 4over:eek:

[Favpack]

Where the hell is Eldrick?

He's actually only 4 over - so, I may be premature. Yeah, I didn't realize the socres had crept up so much - that looks ridiculous - and the weather is gonna turn cold tomorrow.

4 over on Friday...that's nothing for Eldrick. He ain't out of it believe me.
Did you hear him say that John Smoltz is his personal ATM. hahahaha

[drgnbkr]

I don't know much, but what I do know, tells me that these frauds at the top of the leader board will not be there on Sunday at Augusta....the no names will give way to some names on the back 9 on Sunday..thus I have spoken.

Saturday was definitely "moving day" at Augusta, but it was downward only movement - except for Tiger and Retief:

1 Stuart Appleby +2 F +1 75 70 73 -- 218
2 Justin Rose +3 F +3 69 75 75 -- 219
2 Tiger Woods +3 F E 73 74 72 -- 219

8 Tim Clark +6 F +8 71 71 80 -- 222
8 Luke Donald +6 F +3 73 74 75 -- 222
8 Jim Furyk +6 F +4 75 71 76 -- 222
8 Retief Goosen +6 F -2 76 76 70 -- 222
8 Jerry Kelly +6 F +6 75 69 78 -- 222
8 Phil Mickelson +6 F +1 76 73 73 -- 222
8 Rory Sabbatini +6 F +1 73 76 73 -- 222
8 David Toms +6 F +2 70 78 74 -- 222
16 Jeev Singh +7 F +4 72 75 76 -- 223
16 Vijay Singh +7 F +7 73 71 79 -- 223


Oddly enough, I walked with Appleby for almost 15 holes last Saturday at the Shell - the guy is cool enough to beat Tiger - he is unflappable - but I think Tiger walks off with his 5th green jacket at the end of the day.

The course wins this week, and Tiger is one step closer to immortality.

[RocklandDragon]

What the hell? No one is below par?!!

Might as well host the U.S. Open at Augusta. That's some high scores.

I actually enjoy golf more on TV when the holes are absurdly difficult.

:D

[Favpack]

Yeah, brutal this year. Dry and windy, oh, and cold. No telling tomorrow - you'd think someone shoots 70 or so, maybe not.

[pack4life]

Thing Tiger gets it into immortal mode tomorrow and wins it?

When the red shirt comes out...look the hell out. Tiger wins it in my opinion...which btw is a fact.

[Pearland Longhorn]

Even par wins it for sure. +1 and you're probably good and +2 gets a playoff at worst. Appleby has a very short swing so when he gets nervous and quick he tends to pull hook it. Not what you wanna do on all those dogleg lefts at Augusta. Tiger wins this if he plays like he did today.

[78 Spartan]

Tiger doesn't look like Tiger today. He's in the hunt but his body language is anything but confident. Still, he can hit a great shot and turn it around. But this might not be his day.

Yeah he looks really frustrated. I expect him to kick it up on a notch on the back 9 though.

[78 Spartan]

Goosen may not win, but he will not fold up like Mickelson or others might. He's got icewater in his veins.

[wide-e-wide]

Tiger's pissed...just missed a 3ft putt and almost threw his putter. Get it together Eldrick.

[cyfallsgoalie31]

Did anyone see that put that broke about twenty feet to the right then came back and sunk? Not sure who did it, I watched it while working out, cause really, what gets the blood pumping like watching golf?

Rory Sabbatini hit that loopty-loop putt. He is falling apart as we speak though. The back 9 on Sunday separates the "playas" and the fakes.

[wide-e-wide]

And this is where Tiger goes Tiger on us. At the 13th he hits a beautiful shot and will more than likely birdie the hole maybe eagle???Here he comes...

[78 Spartan]

Tiger's gonna eagle 13.

[wide-e-wide]

Holy hell!!
Here he comes folks

[78 Spartan]

Looks like an unknown is going to win the Masters, unless he pulls a Greg Norman on 17 and 18.

[K-Rock]

Zach Johnson is E

Tiger misses a birdie that would have kept him at two behind. Trails by three.

[K-Rock]

Johnson (cough,cough) 3 putts on 17 for bogey.

Tiger makes the putt for par and stays 2 back.

Justin Rose birdies and pulls to 1 back.

[K-Rock]

Johnson (cough, choke, cough) misses another green.

I smell a playoff coming. If that happens look the hell out. Tiger wins easily.

[K-Rock]

What a chip shot by Johnson. WOW! :eek:

Johnson finishes at 1 over.

Gotta birdie 17 now...he did it on Friday.

Tiger blows a shot and yells at his caddie. Classic.

"What the h*ll just happened? You said down wind!"

Has to make a miracle shot now.

I think this was the Cinderella Boy that Carl Spackler was talking about.

So where are you taking your buddy to dinner Drake?

[Favpack]

Yep -- the field is always tough. I thought Tiger was gonna pull it out late, but not quite enough. Zach Johnson - what a story - he could barely speak he was so choked up. Final leaderboard:

1 Zach Johnson +1 F -3 71 73 76 69 289
2 Retief Goosen +3 F -3 76 76 70 69 291
2 Rory Sabbatini +3 F -3 73 76 73 69 291

13 Vijay Singh +8 F +1 73 71 79 73 296


Tiger's the only one that didn't go under par of the top finishers - he needed a couple more birdies.

[Drake]

So where are you taking your buddy to dinner Drake?It was predetermined - Outback. Almost worth it to see a fresh face win for a change.

Yeah - gotta love it...."I'm Zach Johnson from Cedar Rapids, Iowa".

[drgnbkr]

He won't have to say that anymore...You talk about a life changing experience! If any of us tried to play that couse last week, we'd struggle to break 150!

[Drake]

Yeah - gotta love it...."I'm Zach Johnson from Cedar Rapids, Iowa".I thought it was interesting when Tiger was on hole 15 and he drove the ball just into the rough. Zach put him in the position that he usually puts others in, trying to do more than you can or making dumb plays. If he lays up there and then pitches up and one putts he probably goes on and forces a playoff. Instead he tried to make a great play and hit it into the water.

I agree Drake, but if Tiger had made the breaking 15 footer on 14 like Zach did - I think he does lay-up there on 15. He then had a straight 12 footer to pull within 1 and misses that one too -it just was not his day. I'm really happy for Zach - the course favored a "normal" golfer last week. Looking back - you wonder why David Toms was not closer to the top?
