Here's to a Greg Norman-style crash and burn for Tiger today. Gawd, what a jerk.

Unfortunately, he's swinging very well... The best I've seen in a long time. I'm sure he'll start making some putts soon.

Rory looked really impressive. I think he pulls it off.

It would not shock me at all. Did you hear the advice Jack Nicklaus gave him before the tourney? He said that he just played steady and stayed in contention and Majors came to him instead of him going out and taking them.

It sure would be nice if the Masters would finally enter... oh, say the 1970's and actually, like, you know, broadcast the darn thing. They try to make like they're so high and mighty but imagine if the Super Bowl was played and we only saw the final 5 minutes of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarters plus only the final 10 minutes of the 4th.

Oh, and we get to stream any play snapped between the 20 and 30 yard lines online if we want. Whoop-de-stinkin-doo. :rolleyes:
used to be they only showed the back nine on the weekend, you didn't even know what the front nine looked like unless you went there

I can understand that back in the "old days" when there were only 3 networks, you couldn't have one of them broadcasting 40 hours of Masters' coverage. But geez it's the 21st Century. There are about 1,000 channels out there. ESPN has something like 6 by themselves. You have TNT and TBS. Versus and Fox Sports. And there is actually a station called "The Golf Channel". I bet every single one of them would love to broadcast the tournament from start to finish - or at least do all the coverage early in the day prior to switching over to CBS for the conclusion.

Tv coverage is terrible before the cut....and what little you get is mostly re-aired footage, which is completely obsolete since the introduction of the internet.

I did find, however, that the coverage provided by the Masters.com leaderboard of individual groupings was outstanding.....very cool, and a great supplement to television coverage if you have some golfers you like to follow that aren't getting face time on the boob tube.

Par golf could win it for Rory. Can he take the pressure?

We'll see - he started to crack a little at the end yesterday but recovered.

I think he'll win it though...as long as the other guys right behind him don't play out of their minds.

Someone needs to administer the Heimlich to Rory, cause he is choking badly

Scott looks and walks like Matthew McConaughy....he definitely has a little cockiness to his aura
