The Masters

After the first 2 days of this year's Masters Tournament we have in store for us a GREAT weekend of golf! 

Matter of fact, we have already had 2 days of great golf.  I don't hide the fact The Masters is my all time favorite tournament. If I could pick 1 course to play it would be Augusta.  Some of the holes don't look that hard, but there's so much slope on the fairways and undulation on the greens that danger lurks everywhere. At the same time, if you hit the shot the course rewards the player with the opportunity to really score.  Both #13 and 15 are par 5's which are reachable and allow for eagles making a back nine charge possible.

Goin into today the leaderboard looks as such:

-8     Ian Poulter
-8     Lee Westwood
-6     Tiger Woods
-6     KJ Choi
-6     Ricky Barnes
-6     Anthony Kim
-6     Phil Mickelson
-5     Y.E. Yang
-3     Tom Watson
-3     Fred Couples
-3     Soren Kjeldsen

That's a cool leaderboard!    I don't mind Ian Poulter because he seems to respect the game and history of golf. Having Tiger in contention makes any leaderboard more exciting. Anthony Kim is a possible rising American star and we can use that.  Tom Watson at 60,  how can you not pull for him to not blow up a big round?  I'm really pulling for Freddy's back to hold on for 2 more days.  He's mister cool.

I don't think the winner will come from the following, but let's not overlook anyone else under par at this point:

-2    Trevor Immelman     (past Master's champ. how I don't know)
-2    Hunter Mahan          (get rid of the "gay" white rimmed sunglasses!)
-1    Sean O'Hair
-1    Kenny Perry
-1    Matt Kuchar            (no way that inside swing holds up for 4 days on this course)
-1    Dustin Johnson
-1    Mike Weir               (a "tool"!)
-1    Robert Karlsson

The following are all at "Even Par":
Francesco Molinari
Nick Watney
Zach Johnson
Sergio Garcia
Adam Scott
David Toms
Steve Marino
Bill Haas
Ernie Els

Out of this group, only Els has the ability to make a weekend run.

Sit back and enjoy cuz it's gonna be a great 2 days
