After watching the way Phil played this weekend, and knowing that he usually plays well at Augusta, I wouldn't bet against him right now.

That said, who knows if he can continue that hot play. We will see.

I can't argue with you about that. It would not suprise me a bit to see him win back to back weeks.

I don't buy into the "Phil's peaking too soon" garbage. I'd love to go in to a tournament with that kind of confidence.

[boomersooner28]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and pick............





















Mr. Woods. :mack:

[Taxman71]

I just hope CBS bucks up and shows the tournament in HD this weekend. The greens in Augusta in HD would be special.

[colleyvillesooner]

It's been in HD the last couple of years.

And, I'll let my avatar do the talking.

[picasso]

has anybody won the thing after winning the previous week? I think Phil goes to the crapper. amazing driving and GIR stats from last week though.

they say Eldrick may not even play? he's the first choice obviously.
what about Goose? he's been iffy there.

[colleyvillesooner]

they say Eldrick may not even play?

Link?

[BeetDigger]

I don't buy into the "Phil's peaking too soon" garbage.

I hate it when I peak too soon.

[OU4LIFE]

Mr. Man Boobs.

I know it doesn't happen that the guy that wins the week before ever wins the Masters, but that streak has to end sometime.....and considering George Mason made history, i'd say this is a good year.

Go Phil.

oh, and what he did last week is nothing short of amazing people.

I love this week....

[colleyvillesooner]

Phil will be the sexy pick this week.


I'm still taking Tiger.

[JohnnyMack]

Phil has finished 1, 14, 12, 9 and 38 in his last five starts.

I wouldn't say that he's been just tearin' it up lately. He looked good this weekend though.

[OU4LIFE]

I've picked Phil for the last 5.

My sleeper pick is Freddy.

[JohnnyMack]

My sleeper pick is Freddy.

I would think he has a tough time with his grip.

http://www.geocities.com/movievillains/MVFreddyhd.jpg

I got nuthin'.

[Scott D]

Last person to win after winning the 'warmup' tournament the week before was back in 1988, and it's only been done 6 times in history.

DiMarco better hope his knee has improved by about 70% for him to even be in the field on cut day.

That being said..........I'll go with Retief as the new green jacket member on Sunday.

[Newbomb Turk]

The safe pick is Tiger.

I also like Scott's pick of Goosen.

[KC//CRIMSON]

Go Eldrick!











or The Goose.














Down with FIGJAM!

[sooneron]

I like Goose and Donald's chances . 'Cept for the players, the kid has 2 top tens and a victory this year.

[IB4OU2]

So nobody's giving Fred Funk a chance?.........:rolleyes:

[King Crimson]

my standing prediction is that one of the Japanese players will break through in a major: so, Shingo Katayama or Shig Maruyama. and Ola-tha-bal always plays pretty well at Augusta

darkhorse: Chad Campbell

[Stanley1]

So nobody's giving Fred Funk a chance?.........:rolleyes:

I shared a plane with him a few years back. My buddy/co-worker and I knew he was a golfer, but we couldn't remember his name to save our lives. Drove us nuts.

I also think Garcia is going to make a run during a major sometime in the next couple of years. He has the tools, he just never seems to keep it together mentally. Seems like he played pretty well a few weeks ago.

I was thinking of JMO as well.

sergio has made some impressive swing changes and drives the ball long and accurate. but he'd have to putt out of his mind (not the strength of his game) to win at Augusta and even at the "Tiger-proofed" Augusta....driving the ball accurately is not nearly the premium it is at the other American majors.

not a chance, YOU putt better than he does. He won't win anything until he learns how to putt.

[soonernation]

:D

[Stanley1]

I actually putt pretty well for a hacker. Too bad its for double more often than birdie. :)

Wasn't Garcia a pretty good putter 5, 6, 7 years ago? Seems like he was the only guy that could give Tiger any competition, than he just disappeared. I thought he putted pretty well back then, no?

[OU4LIFE]

they guy would have won a ton already if he could putt on the weekend.

I think he's ranked in the 180's in putting the last several years....right ahead of Veej.

Sergio played well in one PGA and semi-challenged Eldrick. he was a marketing tool for the Tour when no one was beating Nike Woods. you were sold a bill of goods. he shot 93 at Carnoustie in 99 at "the Open".

he's talented, but i think there are a lot of young players i'd pick to win a major before him, these days: Sean O'Hair, Luke Donald, Adam Scott....

[sooneron]

I agree totally. I think Garcia could win one..... someday.... not any time soon.

[OU4LIFE]

there's no doubt in my mind he has the long game to play in any event, IMo it's the putter that's holding him back.

[SoonerAcesUp]

This thread makes me a happy man!!! No greater week than Masters' week! What a week for sports in general: the Final Four, Opening Day in baseball, and the Masters. Awesome! Hard to pick against Tiger. All I want is an exciting weekend where the outcome is not known down to the last hole.

[soonernation]

I'm bumping this because the Masters is the ****!!!!

[OU4LIFE]

I actually putt pretty well for a hacker.

combined with your prodigious driving abilty, how is it that you aren't a scratch golfer?

He has a hard time with shots 2-8. :D

[BOOMERBRADLEY]

You guys are so wrong....

Lumpy will win it all

[OU4LIFE]

I thought lumpy was dead.

[BOOMERBRADLEY]

Okay....Tim Herron


BTW he is listed at 210. I call major BS on that one

[BOOMERBRADLEY]

I thought Tim Herron WAS lumpy.

He is, I thought there was another Lumpy.... n/m

I thought you didn't know. He's dead ?

[sooneron]

No, I think he lost an entire Charles Howell III in weight.

[OU4LIFE]

so he lost 10 lbs? good for him.

[Mjcpr]

so he lost 10 lbs? good for him.

Plus 2 large front teeth.

[sooneron]

His nickname WAS chompers

For what its worth, ESPN has Sergio 8th on their list of players who could win their first masters.

TIGER WILL FINISH AS THE BEST GOLFER EVAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree.

this shiznit aint gonna fly this year. watch yourself.

[Scott D]

I'm tempted to pull up last year's predictions on this forum :D

[Scott D]

Ok...last year's predictions..

Thunder - Phil (did mention that tiger or els might win)
Herr - Els
Hairy - Anyone but Olazabel
colley - Tiger
Pat - Tiger
pic - Tiger
soonerobsession - Phil
Scott - Tiger
doleo - Tiger

[colleyvillesooner]

Hello!

[MojoRisen]

Captain Choke had his day in the sun! :D

closely followed by this bri observation in response to doleo.


Nah, she'll probably just wait and let nature take its course. It's only a matter of time before he gives in to the irresistable combination of bathtub and plugged-in toaster...

[Newbomb Turk]

heh - forgot about that - should have taken the bet.

Game on.

[picasso]

I'll take Olaschnozzle for $500 Alex.

[Mjcpr]

I'd pick Tiger again because he is always the best bet.

However, he didn't play that well at The Players and with his dad's health in decline and his thoughts possibly elsewhere, the smart money might be on Goosen.

[colleyvillesooner]

Don't forget, you can watch amen corner live:

http://www.masters.org/en_US/index.html

[Sooner in Tampa]

Tiger is even through 2...The early leader is Pampling at -2 through 12

[picasso]

nobody is going to tear up the back 9 this year.

11 is slow death. 13 is still a good bird hole. 15 has been turned into a tough bird. 16 and it's Sunday pin is always good for a 2.
that's it Frank.

[Fugue]

I'll take Olaschnozzle for $500 Alex.

HEY, I resemble that. :mad:

He won't even sniff it this year. :texan:

[Mjcpr]

Tiger is +1 after 4 now.
Campbell is -2 after 8.
Duval is +10 after 12.

[Mjcpr]

If you're watching the Amen Corner broadcast then you just saw Faldo 3-putt from about 2 feet, right? :D

[sooneron]

How is this Campbell's first appearance???

Also, why the fudge are they not televising it now???

[picasso]

How is this Campbell's first appearance???

Also, why the fudge are they not televising it now???
exactly! those old crusty snobby bastards.

hell I'd watch the practice rounds if it was televised. people should really get over themselves and their beloved sacred grounds.:rolleyes:

[Newbomb Turk]

at least you get to see the front 9 now. Not too many years back they would only show the back 9.

[Mjcpr]

What time does the USA coverage start?

Quitcher whinin'. ;) It's in HD, there are few commercials and they now show all the holes. It wasn't that many years ago they would only show the back 9 or something.

[Sooner in Tampa]

Freddie Couples -2 through 7
Rocco Mediat -2 through 13

Tiger +1 through 7

Duval +13 through 16....YIKES

[Newbomb Turk]

It wasn't that many years ago they would only show the back 9 or something.

That's an excellent point. ;)

[Sooner in Tampa]

Rocco now at -4 through 15

Tiger even through 9

[sooneron]

I love Rocco. Problem is, he frontruns every now and again and doesn't finish.

[BeetDigger]

...and they now show all the holes.

:eek:

Sweet!

[BeetDigger]

I love Rocco. Problem is, he frontruns every now and again and doesn't finish.


:eek:

[sooneron]

I am a one trick pony
:texan:

[colleyvillesooner]

Tiger +1 through 12

Duval shot an 84. Simply amazing.

[TexasLidig8r]

Tiger.. gaks a very makeable birdy putt at 13.. the Spare!

How about Ben Crenshaw's opening 71?

[colleyvillesooner]

Tiger +2 through 13. Just missed an eagle putt from the 1st cut, up a hill and all the way across the green, just to have it lip out and roll 6 feet away. Misses that one to Bogey.

[Mjcpr]

Tiger +2 through 13. Just missed an eagle putt from the 1st cut, up a hill and all the way across the green, just to have it lip out and roll 6 feet away. Misses that one to Bogey.

That was a par 5...he made par. He's still at +1.

[colleyvillesooner]

That was a par 5...he made par. He's still at +1.

That's right, my bad.

Still an amazing putt followed by a horrible one.

[Mjcpr]

Yes....I was hoping he'd come out of the par 5 at E but nooooooo.

[PAW]

Looks like he made up for it some on 14.

[colleyvillesooner]

Yes....I was hoping he'd come out of the par 5 at E but nooooooo.

Good for us he just eagled 14! :D

Tiger -1 through 14

Rocco is your leader at -4 in the clubhouse

[Mjcpr]

WTF......Eagle??

[Mjcpr]

Singh at -4 now.

[colleyvillesooner]

WTF......Eagle??

He holed it out from the fairway, I guess.

[Mjcpr]

He holed it out from the fairway, I guess.

Yeah, had to have....it's a 440 yard Par 4. I'd like to see that.

[colleyvillesooner]

Yeah, had to have....it's a 440 yard Par 4. I'd like to see that.

Sportscenter, bitch! :D

[Mjcpr]

[PAW]

and gave it back on 15.

[Mjcpr]

Stupid.......what'd he do hit it in the water?

Idjit.

[PAW]

missed what happened, I had to turn the stream down for a call.

[picasso]

gotta love USA Network for blessing us with Happy Gilmore before the lushness of Augusta.

[sooneron]

Nice to see Phil in his old up and down self again!

[Mjcpr]

hehe.

gotta love USA Network for blessing us with Happy Gilmore before the lushness of Augusta.

I'm sure you do, but you know that's Gary Player right?

:)

[sooneron]

I will barf if vijay wins it.

DLIII is having a good back nine and Sergio finished at even after hitting only 4/14 fairways!!!

[sooneron]

Phil just played lawn darts on 16 and 18.

[PrideTrombone]

Why hasn't Eddie's face been photoshopped onto Player yet? :)

[King Crimson]

Why hasn't Eddie's face been photoshopped onto Player yet? :)

at first glance i thought it was a Gary Barnett fark.

[Newbomb Turk]

I thought the USA coverage was good - what I saw of it today. It was good stuff watching Phil and Ernie paired together. I thought Sergio played his arse off on the back nine to scratch out an even par round - he only hit 4 fairways, but hit 14 greens. I don't think he'll be a factor come Sunday though.

[GDC]

My cousin's coming on CNBC right now to talk about his Nike clubs.

[Newbomb Turk]

My cousin's coming on CNBC right now to talk about his Nike clubs.

Is he playing in the Masters?

[dolemitesooner]

tier will win I said and and I will say it again

[GDC]

Is he playing in the Masters?

No, it's Tom Stites, he designs clubs for Nike.

[Stanley1]

tier will win I said and and I will say it again

No he will not.

[dolemitesooner]

tiger will win......you wanna make a side bet

[Stanley1]

tiger will win......you wanna make a side bet

Yes.

[walkoffsooner]

Bet on wood's every year you will be right half the time.

[Sooner in Tampa]

Mickelson aka "Manboobies" is -1 for the day and -3 for the tourney after 3 holes...tied for 3rd

O'Hern is -2 for the day and -3 for the tourney...also tied for 3rd

Sergio Garcia is -2 for the day and tourney

Funk is +5 for the day

[picasso]

early guys might have an advantage. I'm betting the course dries up and gets tougher.
I was thinking the leaders would come back a bit but who knows.

[Sooner in Tampa]

I think the wind picks up as the day goes on too.

[Stanley1]

Where are you guys following at? Yahoo seems a little slow to update.

[Sooner in Tampa]

HOLY CARP!!! David Duval is 7 OVER.. after two holes today!!!

What a spare! :D

[picasso]

Where are you guys following at? Yahoo seems a little slow to update.
I'm at the tournament! posting form my hand held Dingleberry.

look for me behind the tee on #16.

[Sooner in Tampa]

Some dude named Hensby is -5 for the day, but still +3 for the tourney...damn that would suck.

[picasso]

ohhhhhhhh! Gay Brewer just narrowly missed a par putt on #15.

wait a sec, Brewer ain't in this anymore. who is that dude?

[Sooner in Tampa]

:D :D :D :D :D :D Mickelson is now even for the day:D :D :D :D :D :D

[picasso]

my bad my bad, it was Montie on #15. he's getting ready to hit as I type on #16.

"Buggar!"

did I say that out loud?

[Sooner in Tampa]

Rocco is now on the course.

[colleyvillesooner]

Look at big Duval with the birdie on 3! His first of the tournament! He's a +6 now. Watch oouuuuuuutttt!! ;)

[Mjcpr]

Rocco is now on the course.

Let the bogey-barrage commence.

[Sooner in Tampa]

Look at big Duval with the birdie on 3! His first of the tournament! He's a +6 now. Watch oouuuuuuutttt!! ;)He is already back at +7 :P

[Mjcpr]

Duval's permanent suckage is hard to fathom after the way he started his career.

[Sooner in Tampa]

Duval's crash was pretty damn hard.

[Newbomb Turk]

Duval got married, adopted her kids and now thinks family is more important than golf. :rolleyes:

If the guy ever gets his priorities straight, he may become a great golfer again. ;)

[Sooner in Tampa]

Another man crashes and burns because of a woman.

[colleyvillesooner]

*cough* +8 *cough*

[Sooner in Tampa]

Els now -3 for the day -4 for the tourney....

Rocco is still E

[Newbomb Turk]

Charles Coody is ahead of Duval. The guy is almost 70 years old!

[Sooner in Tampa]

Now Funk is +8 and Duval is back at +7...man these two are stinkin up the place.

[Sooner in Tampa]

WOW...Funk now at +9

[mrowl]

ahhhh... the masters warmup.....

http://www.deadspin.com/images/2006/04/johndalyteeingoff.jpg

Verplank is on the move. What happened to Ernie? He was -3 for the day what seems like a few minutes ago! Now he's -1 for the round.

[sooneron]

ahhhh... the masters warmup.....

http://www.deadspin.com/images/2006/04/johndalyteeingoff.jpg
After the intial shock of the gut... Holy ****! that backswing!!!

I'd say he's SLIGHTLY beyond parallel.

[Sooner in Tampa]

Campbell is now tied for the lead.

[sooneron]

Not anymore. Vijay opens with a bird.

[Sooner in Tampa]

Damn...that was short lived.

[Sooner in Tampa]

Campbell tied with VJ again

[Sooner in Tampa]

Tiger bogeys the first hole.

[Stanley1]

Tiger bogeys the first hole.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[colleyvillesooner]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eat it, accountant boy.

[sooneron]

Eldrick still +1.

Vijay +1

yep, this could be a good Friday after all!

(awaiting racist comment)

[Sooner in Tampa]

VJ is SUCKING today

[Newbomb Turk]

Freddie birdies #12 to go to -3
Phil done for the day at -2
Tiger birdies 5 to go to -1
Goosen is even, and struggling at #15.

[Fugue]

VJ is SUCKING today

was it one hole or just a crappy round?

[Newbomb Turk]

was it one hole or just a crappy round?

3 doubles so far.

[Newbomb Turk]

Freddie birdies 14 to get to -4, in 2nd place alone.

Campbell leads at -6.

[Sooner in Tampa]

The announcers are just BEGGING for Eldrick to get into contention.

[Sooner in Tampa]

Freddie birdies 14 to get to -4, in 2nd place alone.

Campbell leads at -6.Man...Freddie Couples is GREY :eek:

[Newbomb Turk]

Man...Freddie Couples is GREY :eek:

Dude's 46 years old. Just hit his 2nd into the water at 16.

[colleyvillesooner]

Tiger birdies 15, now at -1

[Newbomb Turk]

Tiger birdies 15, now at -1

and he's gonna birdie 16.

[Sooner in Tampa]

and he's gonna birdie 16.Not

[Newbomb Turk]

...or not.

Tiger just missed - still at -1 thru 16. He's in good shape for the weekend.

[Sooner in Tampa]

Eldrick let one get away there.

[Newbomb Turk]

What a leaderboard with Couples, Els, Singh, Mickelson, Woods and Goosen all within 5 shots of the lead.

[Sooner in Tampa]

If Tiger gets to -2 today, the pucker will be pretty high tomorrow.

[Newbomb Turk]

I've seen or heard this 1986 Masters, Jack Nicklaus story about 50 times this week...and still don't get sick of it.

[Newbomb Turk]

Freddie burned the edge of the cup at 15 - could have gone to -4.

[Sooner in Tampa]

I've seen or heard this 1986 Masters, Jack Nicklaus story about 50 times this week...and still don't get sick of it.Dude...it still gives me chills.

[sooneron]

You mean STAYED at -4.

[Newbomb Turk]

You mean STAYED at -4.

my bad - forgot about the shot into the water.

[Sooner in Tampa]

now Freddie just got a bogey

[Newbomb Turk]

now Freddie just got a bogey

you mean ANOTHER bogey. :D

come on Freddie!

[sooneron]

For a reachable par 5 hole, 15 sure can eat up a lot of playaz.

[sooneron]

If you guys could play ONE hole at Augusta, what would it be?

[Newbomb Turk]

If you guys could play ONE hole at Augusta, what would it be?

I'd say 12 or maybe 13.
12 would be great for the tee shot - 13 for the whole journey.

[Sooner in Tampa]

If you guys could play ONE hole at Augusta, what would it be?Amen Corner :twinkies:

[Newbomb Turk]

Amen Corner :twinkies:

wouldn't that be fun. I'd probably play Amen Corner in about 22 shots.

[Newbomb Turk]

Vijay hung tough and finished at -3.

[colleyvillesooner]

Amen Corner :twinkies:

[Newbomb Turk]

http://www.tour18-dallas.com/

I've heard about it but never played there. I'd like to make the trip down and play the course someday. I don't see how you could replicate Amen corner. Do they have the big Georgia Pines and the swirling winds at #12?

[Sooner in Tampa]

The have the replicated Amen's corner at this course. It RMFO.

http://www.tour18-dallas.com/I have read about this course...I sounds like it would just be incredible.

[Newbomb Turk]

I don't want to even imagine how many balls I would lose in the azaleas (sp)

I wouldn't care how many balls I lost :O - it would be great.

[Newbomb Turk]

Tiger makes par at 18 to finish at -1.

[Sooner in Tampa]

I wouldn't care how many balls I lost :O - it would be great.I agree...I would sport wood from just walking on the course. I was in Augusta last summer (not during the Masters) and they keep that place closed up tight as a drum...you can't see ****. Sometimes they will open the main Gates...then you can have a peek it, but that is it.

[Newbomb Turk]

Way to go Freddie - birdies #17 to get back to -3.

[Newbomb Turk]

Charles Howell is going to finish DEAD FRIGGIN LAST - behind all the old farts and everything. Nice showing by an Augusta native...and an aggie. :D

[Sooner in Tampa]

He is going to be worse than Duval ? That's really bad.

[Newbomb Turk]

He is going to be worse than Duval ? That's really bad.

Duval finished at +15.

Howell finished at +20. He shot a nifty 80-84 for his two days work.

True story. I played in a scramble there a few years ago. On the par 3 (Amen's Corner), I stuck one about 4 feet left of the hole, pin high. Twas one of my best shots ever at that point, probably still one of my better ones.

Too bad the ringer in my group stuck one about a foot and half closer. :mad:

However, it does sucketh when you hit a great shot in a scramble and one of your partners hits a better one.

[soonernation]

HOLY CARP!!! David Duval is 7 OVER.. after two holes today!!!

What a spare! :D

He was 4 under the other 16 holes. To bad he can't get it together for 18.

I played tour 18 in Houston. I thought the course was cool, but it wasn't in great condidtion for 80 bucks a round. The highlight was the bar cart chicks, They all had to be strippers by night. 36 D and up!

That will mean some high scores by the long hitters in the PM, if they get out.

I ****ING LOATHE the coverage by cbs! NO COVERAGE TIL late afternoon!!!! This friggin sucks. I want to see more of the front 9 and that doesn't happen unless Eldrick is out there.

Play just got called for weather. You might get to see the front nine after all. Thats if they get started agin this afternoon.

[Newbomb Turk]

I want to see more of the front 9

you got your wish.

[sooneron]

Yup, almost. I have to talk to the wife about the other one!

[Newbomb Turk]

:texan:

[Newbomb Turk]

QUIT RAINING ON AUGUSTA!

[sooneron]

This sucks!

[King Crimson]

Chad Campbell hoping to play "3 or 4" holes today. what a letdown....but seems like to me if the start-time is 40 minutes like they are saying they (last group) ought it to get in more than that....seems to me.

i would have structured my Saturday much differently had i known things would be as such.

maybe they'll expand coverage tomorrow to see more than the last 3 hours of 25-30 holes from the leaders......bwwaaaahahahaha.

[sooneron]

All this rain is making me feel all mildewy and stuff.

[Newbomb Turk]

All this rain is making me feel all mildewy and stuff.

take a nap. ;)

[sooneron]

It's on like Donkey Kong!

[King Crimson]

here we go. about an hour of coverage. rooty toot toot.

i love how when they show Tiger's chip-in at 16 last year they never mention he bogeyed the next two holes.

[sooneron]

I hated him for that shot.

Actually, I hated his goon caddy more.

[sooneron]

I take back what I said about LUmpy losing weight. That ****er is out of shape! You have to wonder if he has ANY muscle tone.

[sooneron]

Too bad Cink wasn't putting for **** earlier this week or he'd be in it.

[King Crimson]

I hated him for that shot.

Actually, I hated his goon caddy more.

i was pulling for DiMarco.....but (swear to God) when he was over that chip Lanny says "he'll be lucky to get it within 15 feet"....and i said out loud to myself: "Gawddamned it Lanny, now he'll probably make it".

:rolleyes:

[Newbomb Turk]

The dog and I (no wife jokes :D) just woke up from a little nap. Just in time to catch the restart.

[sooneron]

I didn't get to nap. I am STILL in the Pjs! and the dog is curled up on my legs.

[King Crimson]

i heard a radio talk show host refer to Steve Williams as "Tiger's Bag Ape".

that made me laugh. all the Tiger humpers should start to show up here pretty soon....

[sooneron]

Puhlease! It's Eldrick.

[sooneron]

Thing I hate about Eldrick is his caddy and his humpers.

[King Crimson]

sooneron: that was a classic line about Jessica Alba and Co. stimping at 14 the other day.

[Newbomb Turk]

I am indifferent towards Tiger. I'm sick of him, because of all of the media attention he gets. However, he is by far the most talented and mentally tough golfer I have ever seen. I respect him for that.

Outside of the Ryder and President's Cups, I don't pull for him to win. But with his dad's condition now, I wouldn't mind seeing him win this week.

[Newbomb Turk]

I think Tiger is in very good shape for tomorrow. He's -3 with the leader at -6 and only a few people in between.

Phil screwed up what was a very good day by making bogey on his last two holes.

[dolemitesooner]

Tiger will win mark it down

[Newbomb Turk]

Tiger will win mark it down

yep.

[dolemitesooner]

AND DONT FORGET IT

[Newbomb Turk]

I WON'T. I PICKED HIM ON PAGE 1.

Well...kind of. I picked Tiger or Goosen.

[Newbomb Turk]

Pretty good leaderboard going into the final round.

Mickelson, Couples, Singh, Woods, Goosen & Els all within 4 shots of each other. Freddie & Phil in the final pairing.

[King Crimson]

my standing prediction is that one of the Japanese players will break through in a major: so, Shingo Katayama or Shig Maruyama. and Ola-tha-bal always plays pretty well at Augusta

darkhorse: Chad Campbell

i doubt he's got the shot making to beat all the other big boys around the lead when it comes time to cut the nuts, but not a bad darkhorse pick from yer old buddy King Crimson.

looks like it ought to be a great finish. unless one guy just goes way low....too many players for anyone to really pull away.

[Newbomb Turk]

Good call on Campbell.

Jiminez needs to cut that nasty pony tail off.

[King Crimson]

Jiminez needs to cut that nasty pony tail off.

it looks even worse *not* in a ponytail, like the hair in an R. Crumb comic. i like him though. i followed a group he was in Thursday or Friday at the US Open last year....and he seems like an interesting, good-natured guy. so many of the guys on Tour are so cookie cutter. and have cookie cutter games. especially alot of the newer American players.

[Newbomb Turk]

There's something about him I have never liked. I agree about the "cookie-cutter" golfers. That's one reason I have always liked Darren Clarke - seems like he'd be a good guy to have a pint with.

Nice shot by Phil on the par 3. Let's see if he can make a putt today.

[King Crimson]

that big flop shot off the green Eldrick just hit was sick.

[Newbomb Turk]

that big flop shot off the green Eldrick just hit was sick.

this just in - he's got a little game.

[Newbomb Turk]

Nice shot by Phil on the par 3. Let's see if he can make a putt today.

nope - he's blowing some good chances.

[Newbomb Turk]

Tiger is really playing well today. I know this is going out on a big limb, but I still say he's the guy to beat, even though he's two shots back right now.

[Newbomb Turk]

Rocco just found out that you CAN hit a shot too good. That sucks.

[King Crimson]

re: darren clarke. a couple years ago i played golf in Scotland with my Dad...and around the towns near places like Troon, St. Andrews, Carnoustie etc. there seemed to be an unusually high number of establishments--pubs, Indian restaurants--where on the outside window there was a picture of Darren Clarke with his arm around someone you presumed to be the owner. next to the menu posted in the window. i guess he knows how to make friends.

a few holes back that putt Phil had on the front of the green was a miserable effort.

i agree. i like the guy. (Clarke)

[Newbomb Turk]

How cool to have played golf in Scotland - and with your dad.

[King Crimson]

Masters playoff: sudden death beginning on 18....and rotating b/ween 10 and 18 thereafter. FYI.

[King Crimson]

yeah, it was very cool. of the many things in life that don't live up to the hype.....links golf is not one of them. it's about the coolest thing ever. i was blown away.....and i've playing since i was 8.

we had planned a trip a few years ago with me, my dad, grandad (who taught us all how to play), my dad's brother and his son......but it just didn't work out. and my granddad passed a couple years ago......so, i regret that not happening. my dad's been over several times....and to Ireland. it's a secular pilgrimmage for him.

[Newbomb Turk]

Sorry to head your granddad passed before that could happen. Great story though.

Is this golf tournament any good? I'd love to see Freddie win again.

[King Crimson]

this is gonna be good.

[King Crimson]

Freddie with the longest putt in the world.

i think Vijay is pretty dangerous hanging around. he can hit it stiff 3-4 holes in a row. bang bang bang....and he's got a 2 shot lead.

[Newbomb Turk]

i think Vijay is pretty dangerous hanging around.

that's a good point.

Olazabal may post a low number for everyone else to shoot at.

[Newbomb Turk]

Rocco just ****ed the tournament down his leg at #12.

[Newbomb Turk]

Dang - Rocco took a 10 on a par 3.

[dolemitesooner]

Dmait I have been up since 7 routing on tiger. Now I am routing for anyone to win besides fat *** dont feed me phil

[King Crimson]

Dang - Rocco took a 10 on a par 3.

poor bastard. bad way to write your name into every Masters/Endberg narrated special......4ever.

[Newbomb Turk]

Nobody is doing a darn thing right now.

I need to get me one of those Shingo Katayama hats.

[King Crimson]

Olazabal 3 putts. he's prolly out.

you gotta figure these are the players with a chance (since they have sufficient holes to play):

Lefty
Couples
Singh
Clark
Campbell

after that is a stretch. a guy could go nuts, but there are so many players to leap frog.

winner is going to come from that group.

SHINGO! my man.

[King Crimson]

Katayama does this warm-up routine on the practice tee where he hits 3 iron with only his left hand one arm swing. and he rips em too.

he's a good player. he had a nice US Open last year.

[Newbomb Turk]

a guy could go nuts, but there are so many players to leap frog.

probably so. But did you watch the 86 masters highlights earlier today? In the middle of the back 9, Jack was down to Seve 4 shots. Jack then eagles 15, birdies 16 and 17. Seve dunks his 2nd shot in the water at 15 and the whole tournament changed.

[Stanley1]

Phil's to lose right now.

[Newbomb Turk]

Phil really looks in control of his game right now.

I can't believe Tiger hasn't made more noise today.
