The first round of The Masters has come to a end and it is certainly gearing up to be an exciting tournament.
No surprise that "Boom Boom" is atop the leader board after firing a silky smooth 66. I saw one shot where he had a short wedge into the green and stuck it to like 4 feet. I swear he swung so slow and easy that he almost stopped the swing before he it the ball. The man has the smoothest swing out there.
Tommy Watson is showing some brilliance, again, just like last year at The Open Championship.
Mass... Your boy held it together and will probably be a contender on Sunday... If he can hold it together that long and keep the heroics in the bag.
Would love to see Phil and Tiger in the final paring on Sunday.
Kind of scary that Tiger shoots his lowest opening round ever at Augusta. Hasn't played in roughly 5 months but it certainly doesn't look like it. That is if you by into the hype that 5 months off is a really, really long time away from golf? I don't!
I just hope that it isn't a situation, like we all have, where you haven't played in a while and shoot lights out the first time you play. Then the next round you suck donkey nuts.
Either way the leader board currently has several guys I can root for and several guys I can root against... So it should be a fun 3 days of golf watching.

I saw that same shot of Freddy's. I thought he was taking a practice swing and then BOOM he hits the ball. I thought "I've never swung that slow in my life"
ReplyDeleteThis same leaderboard would be great come Sunday.
Here's my Day 2 hopes:
I don't need to see Tom Watson leading, but I hope he shoots a respectful round on Friday. Just don't want to see him blow up.
I hope Tiger has another good round. It will be more interesting on Sunday though if he were like 2 - 3 shots back instead of in the lead.
Would like to see Phil play within himself for 1 more round. I don't see him putting as well as he did for 4 full rounds.
Would like to see David Duval come back with a sub-par round. He couldn't make a putt on Thurs to save his life.
Hope 60 yr old Sandy Lyle doesn't shoot 80!
I do hope Matt Kuchar shoots 80!
Would like to see Ian Poulter have another good round.
AND YES, Fred Couples shoot sub par again. If not in the lead, at least end the day within 4 strokes of the lead.
It would be a fun 3 days if they would put the shit on TV.
