I saw this link on a friend’s website, which shows the cover of the April 16 edition of Sports Illustrated. I must admit, it is one cool photo of Tiger breaking his club, but only giving Zach Johnson a “box” inlaid on the cover… Come on guys! If winning the Masters isn’t enough, I wonder [...]
Everyone needs to cut Tiger Woods some slack

I’ve been waiting for someone to stand up for Tiger Woods, but apparently it’s easy to join the chorus of Tiger-naysayers. It almost seems like some people enjoy, with glee, watching Tiger lose. So he didn’t close out the 2007 Masters. So what? His record for past majors is that he’s won every major where [...]

Finally, it caught up with Tiger, in the same way it caught up with Phil Mickelson at Winged Foot. If you look at Tiger’s game, he has no weaknesses, except for one: his driving. He ranks 160th on tour in driving accuracy, at 55.36%. That’s his worst overall ranking of all his standard stats. His [...]

Having travelled most of the weekend, I have been listening to the Masters on XM Radio. However, today was the first day that I actually got to watch the Masters. And, to be completely honest, I was disgusted. When I think about the Masters, the Back 9 on Sunday is what comes to mind. Specifically, [...]
Augusta National is now "Tiger-proofed"

This year, the powers that be at Augusta National made few changes to the course. The major changes, in lengthening the course and inserting and removing trees, had already taken place over the past five years. This week, Augusta is finally playing like a full-fledged monster. Tiger’s 1997 score of -18 is now folklore. Last [...]
Tiger Woods on bogey train in 2d round of Masters — just hits it into water on 12 and again into the water on 13

Tiger’s now at +4, after 3 bogeys in the front nine. Tiger’s streak of no 2nd round above par at the Masters is in serious jeopardy. The cut line is projected at +8, so that (hopefully) won’t be a problem. Uh-oh. After dunking it into the water, Tiger just sunk a clutch bogey putt from [...]

OK, the driving range is now live if you go here and click on the right-hand side “Driving Range.” If you’re having trouble there, the video is also available on ATT’s site here. Then, at 10:45 a.m. to 5 p.m., you should be able to watch play at Amen Corner by going to the same [...]
The Champions Tour at the Masters amid the young guns

Justin Rose and first-timer Brett Wetterich are leading the Masters at -3 after Day 1. Justin Rose has been in this position before in 2004, until he shot an 81 in the third round. The biggest props have to go out to Craig Stadler and Fuzzy Zoeller, both of whom shot +2 in very difficult [...]
Greatest short-game round ever?

Categories: masters
I am watching late-day Masters coverage, and the announcers reported that Justin Rose managed to shoot his first-round 69 despite hitting only 5 greens. That is, as detailed here, Rose had only 20 putts for his entire round and thus got up-and-down 13 times on Augusta’s famous “devilishly fast, diabolically sloping greens.” Should we start [...]

Phil Mickelson +4 after 6 holes, Ernie Els +5 after 8 holes. It might be over before it even started for these guys unless they can stop the bleeding. Tiger’s still practicing. Leaderboard Tweet This Post
